OK, it didn't quite work like this, but

moused_enable="YES"
moused_ums0_flags=""
moused_flags="-3"

in rc.conf did work.

(I did a lot of playing with commands like "/etc/rc.d/moused start 
psm0", which seems to be quite different from "/etc/rc.d/moused start" - 
the latter is what seems to be executed upon startup.)

Thanks for the hints.
