Thanks! That did the trick. I now have:
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> flags 0x1000 irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
For the benefit of others: this laptop requires a device flag for the
touch pad. This change is needed in /boot/device.hints:
--- /boot/device.hints 2004/11/05 01:27:17 1.1

The web page also talks about putting start parameters for moused into
/etc/rc.conf; I don't think this is necessary. I suspect that you
just need to remove the line:
moused_enable="NO"
