I think the right way to 'startx' is with:
$ cat .xinitrc
exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
$ cat `which startxfce4`
...
XFCE4_SESSION_WITH_CK="1"
...
$ cat /usr/local/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
...
  # check if we start xfce4-session with ck-launch-session. this is only
  # required for starting from a console, not a login manager
  if test "x$XFCE4_SESSION_WITH_CK" = "x1"; then
    if which ck-launch-session >/dev/null 2>&1; then
      ck-launch-session xfce4-session
...
$ startx

With the above, and a *working* moused configuration:
$ cat /etc/rc.conf
moused_enable="YES"
$ cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
        ...
        Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
EndSection

I tried to make suspend work with:
adding:
# cp /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4-session/files/pkg-message.in /usr/local/etc/polkit-
1/localauthority/50-local.d/40-system-config-jb.pkla
and removing comment lines, and editing it to
Identity=unix-group:jb

The suspend worked; pressing power button restored the X desktop, with working
external USB mouse, but blocked built-in PS/2 mouse.
So, how to fix the resume from suspend so that mouses work again ?
