For console all you need is 'moused_enable="YES"' in your /etc/rc.conf. Enabling it across all local terminals doesn't work well for me as the Mac's F keys don't work (for me) in VirtualBox. For X windows, all I added was the hald_enable=YES and dbus_enable=YES to my /etc/rc.conf. I did not need to install virtualbox additions or any xorg.conf. I just did a fresh install (via pkg) of xorg & xfce4 on a FreeBSD 10-R-p4 amd64 install in vbox on my mid 2011 iMac running 10.9.3 to verify this. -scott
