While this still doesn't solve your original problem, PS2 splitters
appear to be listed on eBay. Searching for "PS2 splitter" gives
splitters for 1 to 5 euros, in countries in Europe and Asia. You may
find one with low shipping costs.

There may be a simpler solution. The systems I've seen with only
one ps/2 jack had both the keyboard and the mouse signals wired to
the single jack. (Quick test: if it is wired this way it will work
with either a keyboard or a mouse.) If that's how yours is set up
you can get a Y adapter with one ps/2 plug and two ps/2 jacks, and
not need to deal with USB keyboard or mouse support at all.
True. I should have mentioned this option. Why haven't I just bought
such an adapter and be done with it?
Well, for some reason, these adapters (whether you call them "PS/2
splitters" or "PS/2 Y cable") are not easy to get hold of. None of my
"local" computer shops have them, and I wasn't able to find any on
Dealextreme either. If I do find a shop that have them listed, its not
in stock, and they charge a small fortune for them.
In contrast, usb to ps/2 adapters are almost everywhere.
