What does the system (dmsg) say when you plug your USB mouse? 

If something like:

ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir.

the mouse should work right away. If nothing is displayed, make sure you have 
got USB loaded either into your kernel or like a module. _before_ plugging 
the USB mouse try:

kldload usb
kldload ums
