If the SuperPen (got a URL to show what it looks like?) really does use the 
same protocol as the wacom devices, then it'll need to be added to the driver 
source code. If the same source told you that it'll work, and all you need to 
do is to hack the modules table, then I'm not optimistic about your chances.

Can you post the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices with both of these devices 
plugged in? That is pretty important to get the next step sorted out.

Also, can you get 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/linuxconsole/ruby/utils/evtest.c?rev=1.19
and test each device? For the mouse, it would help if you could annotate the 
output with what actions corresponded to which outputs (eg "these three lines 
occurred when I pressed and released the middle button")
