Yes, the answer to this is partly related the question 2. This is also
in the FAQ:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html#X-AND-WHEEL

Yes, you can use the mouse daemon (moused).  Just edit your /etc/rc.conf
file and add the following lines:

moused_enable=3D"YES"
moused_port=3D"/dev/psm0"  # assuming you have a ps/2 mouse
moused_flags=3D"-z 4"

Then configure X to use moused (sysmouse) by editing the input section
with the following:

Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option      "Buttons" "5"

> 4. Can I copy mouse options for X from Linux?

The options should be the same.

> 3. How do I copy\cut\paste text in Vim?

In X you just highlight and then middle-click to paste.
