I don't think xephyr/xnest would be the best way to do multiseat in
linux. I much prefer alternative approaches. 

Anyway I don't have an answer to your question. :)

There seem to be no equivalent of evdev on BSD. For good reason of
course.

I believe the only way out is to first demux the mouse and keyboard for
each of the seats.

If you spend a few days and hack the FreeBSD kernel you should be able
to do it. 

Reading the sysmouse and vidcontrol man pages and source should get you
started.

I shall be interested in your findings.:)

Thanks.
