Yes, it has a PS/2 port but it is occupied by my keyboard. Anyway, I have found a 
workaround for my problems. To keep USB working in FreeBSD, all, even this 
built-in smallest hub in my keyboard, have to be disconnected. Then when boot 
finishes I can connect devices, and my mice are detected. Well, this is annoying 
since it means diving under the desk every time computer boots, but at least I can 
work now.
