Thanks for the tips guys.  I had a close look at both suggestions.

After further experimentation I found that this line in rc.conf:

  usbd_enable="YES"

was causing the mouse pointer not to work in Xorg.  Simply removing
that line, all works perfectly.  So my end-result rc.conf is:

  defaultrouter="192.168.0.254"
  hostname="tweety.i"
  ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.0.5  netmask 255.255.255.0"
  sshd_enable="YES"
  # added by xorg-libraries port
  local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d"
  hald_enable="YES"
  dbus_enable="YES"

I found that adding the moused start just adds more confusion,
especially because moused is already started automatically because of,
I guess, the hald.

I just hope I'm not missing out on not having usbd_enable.

Kinda confusing stuff, I'm sure it's smoother in 7.x or 8.0.
