Ok, I figured out what the problem is. It looks like the xorg server built from
pkgsrc is still using /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB instead of
/usr/pkg/xorg/lib/X11/XKeysymDB. So, if you do a clean install of xorg-server
onto a system without a prexisting server installed in /usr/X11R6, then you
have no working keyboard when you start X.

Once again, thanks to everyone who responded.
