With current src & ports & an /etc/X11/xorg.conf freshly produced
on FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT 2 days back by: X -configure I had to Add
hald_enable="YES" to my rc.conf before internal & external keyboards
& mice would resume working.

I did not previously need hald_enable in /etc/rc.conf for partitions
on same PC running X on 8.4-RELEASE, 9.3-RELEASE, 10.0-RELEASE.

Most users will want an X PC that by default works with keyboard & mouse,
FreeBSD defaults should support that IMO, as minority higher skilled X purists
can easily comment out input if they are building a non standard PC.

PS FYI I have long had devd ON, on all 4 FreeBSD partitions & releases,
(in case that makes a difference).

Cheers,
Julian
