Cheap kvm switches don't have a way to reset the mouse or store
its configuration for each port. If one OS set's up the mouse one
way and a second set's it up differently (as is the case with NetBSD
and win2k as you have discovered) you lose. It is cheaper and easier
to have two mice instead of bying an expensive kvm switch. Of course
this solution does not scale well :-)
