I would somehow doubt it considering how tempermental the built-in ones are for stuff like just getting slightly damp. On the other hand, I recently picked up 10 of the ALPS Glidepoints from the garage sale thing and found that they're much more robust in ways like that (I drink a lot of iced tea, and often get the condensation from the cup on my fingers, which makes a mess of touchpads).
I don't know if it would be possible, but you just might could hack a glidepoint into it and it might work... hard to say. For $1 it might be interesting to try.
