The copy/paste function of moused is a builtin feature of the FreeBSD
console. You don't need to do anything special (apart from running
moused) to enable this on a FreeBSD console.
If you are sitting on a FreeBSD console, then copy/paste works,
regardless of where the output will eventually go. I can copy from
one of my virtual consoles, and paste in another virtual console where
I have telnet'ed to a remote machine. It just works.
If you mean that you are sitting on a machine X that runs an operating
system Y (where Y is *not* FreeBSD), and you want to use copy/paste
then you'd have to consult the documentation for the programs that you
run in Y. An alternative could be to telnet or ssh to a FreeBSD
machine and run screen(1) in that telnet session. Then you could use
screen's C-a [ and C-a ] keys to copy/paste text.
