It's cut-n-paste only but should work.

Modify /etc/rc.conf:

moused_type="microsoft"
      # See man page for rc.conf(5) for available settings.
moused_port="/dev/cuaa0" 
      # Set to your mouse port (required if mousetype set).
      # >>> Change this to the correct port for your mouse (cuaa0 == COM1)
moused_flags=""         # Any additional flags to moused.
