 I found the problem. The adbkbd driver can emulate a USB keyboard ( see
 sysctl machdep.adbkbd* ), which is turned off by default ( options
 ADBKBD_EMUL_USB turns it on by default ), and for some reason the
 Xserver identifies the keyboard as USB, even when it sends ADB
 scancodes.
 Not sure why yet, but a quick workaround is to turn on USB emulation.
 ( sysctl -w machdep.adbkbd0.emulate_usb=1 )
 
 have fun
