The keyboard should work fine -- maybe you've been bitten by the stupid
mouse blocking thing in Xorg 7.4? I put my working xorg.conf for almost
the same machine at http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/xorg.ibook.conf

The mouse is another issue. Apple's two-finger scrolling trackpads claim to be
standard USB mice, but are not. Instead, they just transfer the pressure
everywhere on their sensor grids continuously, and require a new driver.
This is pbms(4) on NetBSD.
