This is pretty easy too, just use the following command:
/usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 

To do this automagically you can configure the following in
/etc/usbd.conf (in this example for my Cherry 4100-DE keyboard):

device "Cherry 4100 USB Keyboard"
   devname "ukbd0"
   vendor 0x046a
   product 0x0001
   attach "/usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 -l german.iso < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null"
   detach "/usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 -l german.iso < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null"

For USB mice there should already be a configuration line in
usbd.conf.

You just have to make sure that the usbd is started at boot time, by
inserting usbd_enable="YES" to your rc.conf.
