I got it to work myself, it's clearly defined in the docs wich follows
the distribution..

in the copy of GENERIC insert the following lines

device    psm0    at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr
# Options for psm:
options   PSM_NO_RESET       #don't reset mouse hardware (some laptops)

I hope that this is the right way to configure it.
