That would be nice.
I'll note that you don't actually have to modify unclutter to do this.
You could install the hotkeys package, drop this script somewhere:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -e $HOME/.unclutter-disabled ]; then
rm -f $HOME/.unclutter-disabled
killall -CONT unclutter
else
touch $HOME/.unclutter-disabled
killall -STOP unclutter
fi
Then configure hotkeys to run the script when some key is pressed.
Should work ok.

Very very low, IMHO. Unclutter is designed to hide the mouse to avoid
it getting in the way when reading or moving around in the window. The
chance of the mouse getting in the way should be a function of time;
when the mouse is first moved over a window, it's unlike to be in the way
of whatever you're doing in the window, since you just moved it there.
(and why would you move it to an annoying position?) As time passes, the
chance increases that the position it's in will become annoying, as
what's onscreen and/or the focus of your activity changes.
I guess YMMV on this one, but I use the default 5 second idle time,
rarely have the cursor get in the way before that time is up, and can
easily read tooltips without using annoying hotkeys.
