I think that X fundamentally requires that you have exactly one cursor.

You can however change the way it looks by changing the cursor font.
You can write a cursor font which has an invisible cursor, so the user 
will not see anything.
(I don't remember the syntax, but there several ways of changing 
cursor font).

The only problem I see with that is that any application can change the 
cursor font, and some applications use their own font, so you can't
guarantee that a cursor will never appear. However this will only happen
when such an application has focus, so should not be a major problem.
