There are different approaches, depending on what you need.

The way I do it is to use the moused utility which allows
you to use the mouse both in X and in pseudoterminals.

Look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf for the lines with 'moused'
and override any of the values in your /etc/rc.conf file
until you get a working cursor in a pseudoterminal.
(man moused)

Then you modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or XF86Config) to
look like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
