I checked with xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2 with FreeBSD 7.1 .
Unfortunately, this patch is still required IN NOW 
with Japanese 106/109 USB keyboard.
(Of course, patch.txt should change for current version)

If we can change FreeBSD keyboard mapping same as
Japanese 106/109 PS/2 keyboard, much better.

FreeBSD console(after 6.3-RELEASE) already support Japanese
106/109 USB keyboard by this patch commited in 2007.
http://www.jp.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/kbdmux/kbdmux.c.diff?r1=1.14&r2=1.15

But, cannot type underscore(_) with Xorg on FreeBSD in now.
Japanese USB keyboard users using workaround with xmodmap(1).
