Aye, it's got a lot of buttons, and I've tried transferring several of
the config settings, however, none of the drivers they pointed to seem
to exist in BSD, and they also pointed to devices, again nonexistant
in bsd.
example, one involves the following:
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
If I try to use evdev, x refuses to start, and says said module does
not exist in the log file. The other variants I've seen have similar
modules that I can't find and won't load.
Thanks,

I've googled the problem in general, tried looking around xorg and
this site, but I couldn't find any useful information on getting my
MX518 working with all of it's buttons in BSD (were I to downgrade
back to Linux, I could, but I'd rather not do that, ports is much more
useful than the extra three buttons).
Hey Jim
i suppose this is a logitech mouse with lots of buttons? if you know it
works with linux, why not transfer the config from linux to freebsd? (u
dont need to install anything, just try knoppix). It should work out of
the box (I believe moused is same across platforms, and xorg shouldn't
worry too much about what OS it's being used under).
otherwise, have u read man moused ?

Many people in Linux (at least), use imwheel for utilizing all mouse
buttons on their mice, unless they use an internal X program to set the
values for 'key strokes' obtained from the mouse by themselves (kind of
a royal pain, if you ask me). Try searching for "imwheel gentoo" on
google if imwheel's included in ports (don't have my FreeBSD machine in
front of me right now to verify).
Also, if you're looking for the codes for your mouse's buttons, try
using xev.
