Add Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" to the ServerLayout or ServerFlags 
section.  That prevents xorg from adding hal-detected devices, even if 
hal is running.

The other option is to build xorg-server without hal support:
   # cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server; make config

Turn off the HAL option and rebuild/reinstall the port.  If you do that, 
a reminder comment about it in xorg.conf could be a good idea.  Or just 
include the AutoAddDevices option anyway; I doubt xorg-server without 
hal support would complain about it, but can't recall testing that.
