Guest mouse support was "purged" by this commit:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/commit/?id=b19e3782a77c171ca20fc962f95923495fdb7978
Apparently, the pointing stick device will have to be presented as a
separate mouse device from that point forward, with a mouse driver
attached to run it.
However, the FreeBSD psm(4) device still provides support for
pass-through "guest" devices for synaptic toucpads, so you could
investigate using the synaptics support as described here:

I've had to hack the psm(4) driver a bit to fix a couple of mouse
button and scrolling issues, but other than those issues, it's seems
to work well.
