pciconf isn't really applicable here i think.  does your dmesg buffer 
reference any PS/2 devices being detected?  here is CURRENT detecting my 
synaptics touchpad:

$ dmesg|grep psm
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 0


assuming it is being detected, have you set:

moused_enable="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf?

If you have set that but do not see your touchpad being detected, and 
assuming it's a synaptics device, have you set the following in 
/boot/loader.conf?

hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"

Cheers,
