i am not sure about the machdep setting there so i cc'd the mailing list 
maybe someone else can help you there.
about the AllowEmptyInput however, there is some info in ports/UPDATING 
round about when xorg was updated because I
am not sure if you said you disabled the mouse from xorg config instead 
of moused in etc/rc.conf ( if that is what you said).
i have moused_enable="NO" in etc/rc.conf and add Option 
"AllowEmptyInput" "off" in xorg.conf.new right after a Xorg -configure.
also, i think you have to test cuz ppl get different setting to work 
depending their hardware, but i have had similar problem as you
with moused enabled and AllowEm...added. ( i have only 1gb memory fyi)
