I'm having similar problems. But I have option devd for autoconfig. Anyway,
I solved it by having the slim-script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d kill moused (
as even if you have moused="NO" in rc.conf devd autoruns moused on
usb-attach, which leads to umsX being busy when xorg tries to open them ).

I also had to have usbconfig power_off and power_on my lenovo usb-keyboad
with trackpoint mouse as the mouse is not recognised on boot.
