I don't understand why people treat devd as if it's some sort of evil
virus that they're forced to live with (using phrases like "crap in
devd.conf").  In general, the standard devd rules tend to fall into 3
categories:  
      * use logger(1) to record some anomaly
      * kldload a module
      * invoke a standard /etc/rc.d script

For moused, the devd rules invoke /etc/rc.d/moused, which implies that
setting moused_enable=NO in rc.conf would be all that's needed to
disable it.
