Tried such way also, but finally got to 

/etc/rc.conf:
...
moused_enable="YES"
moused_nondefault_enable="YES"
...

/etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
...
	Option	       "AutoAddDevices"	 "off"
EndSection


In that configuration everything woks as expected:
- I have mouse in both X and console
- X starts and do not stuck on ttyin
- keyboard just works
- console switched as usual
