From /usr/ports/UPDATING:

AFFECTS: users of x11-servers/xorg-server
AUTHOR: rnol...@freebsd.org
If you are using an older xorg.conf several config lines are
no longer needed and will generate warnings when X is started.
RgbPath will cause X to fail to start, remove it from your config.
Server 1.5.3 also really wants to configure its input devices
via hald. This is causing some issues with moused and
/dev/sysmouse. There are a couple of options for how to deal
with it.
[...]
What this means is that to get a UK keyboard layout in xorg you need a
file in /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/
I've named my copy 10-x11-keyboard.fdi and it contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keyboard">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">kbd</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbRules" type="string">xorg</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XkbModel"
type="string">microsoft</merge> <merge
key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">gb</merge>
</match> </device> </deviceinfo>
