Try enabling an option in your BIOS: 
"Enable Legacy USB support?" = YES 
This makes USB keyboard work before the OS is running.  Let me know if 
this works.

I experienced the same issue with FreeBSD 4.7 and solved it save way-- turning 
on USB support in the BIOS. On my last my machine, which was much older, the 
BIOS didn't appear to offer this feature. The workaround was to borrow a PS/2 
keyboard if I needed to use it before FreeBSD booted and turned on it's own 
USB keyboard support.
