Comment out all four of the lines:

pms*            at pckbc?               # PS/2 mouse for wsmouse
pmsi*           at pckbc?               # PS/2 "Intelli"mouse for wsmouse
wsmouse*        at pms? mux 0
wsmouse*        at pmsi? mux 0

and uncomment the line:

#opms*          at pckbc?               # backwards compatible PS/2 mouse

This will enable the pre-wscons /dev/pms0 PS/2 mouse driver which will look
like the "BusMouse" protocol to the X server (not the "PS/2" protocol, do
note!).  This does not conflict with wscons controlling the display.
