See, this isn't very obvious to most people. It took me forever to figure  
it out.

On every other OS you use the Xorg synaptics driver, but on FreeBSD there  
is synaptics support built-in with the rest of the mouse driver.

man 4 psm:

      Tap and drag gestures can be disabled by setting hw.psm.tap_enabled  
to 0
      at boot-time.  Currently, this is only supported on Synaptics  
touchpads
      with Extended support disabled. The behaviour may be changed after  
boot
      by setting the sysctl with the same name and by restarting moused(8)
      using /etc/rc.d/moused.
