I don't think xephyr/xnest would be the best way to do multiseat in
linux. I much prefer alternative approaches.
Anyway I don't have an answer to your question.
There seem to be no equivalent of evdev on BSD. For good reason of
course.
I believe the only way out is to first demux the mouse and keyboard for
each of the seats.
If you spend a few days and hack the FreeBSD kernel you should be able
to do it.
Reading the sysmouse and vidcontrol man pages and source should get you
started.
I shall be interested in your findings.
Thanks.

Girish
