    What type of mouse is it & what protocol are you using in
    /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ?

    Here's my cvsupfile that works fine:
    ### SNIP ###
    *default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org
    *default base=/usr
    *default prefix=/usr
    *default release=cvs
    *default tag=RELENG_4
    *default delete use-rel-suffix

    src-all
    *default tag=.
    ports-all
    doc-all
    ### SNIP ###

    Have a look at
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
    and modify the bottom lines of the above cvsupfile to get
    only the things you really need.
