BTDT. You do it via XInput.

Uh, no - that'd be wrong. The /dev/input/mice interface is a
simulated stream, /dev/psaux is real, live raw data.
What you do instead is define two mouse pointers with different names,
both as "AlwaysCore" pointers.
XFree86 v4 handles this nicely.
Its a lot messier to config in 3.3, but you still do it via XInput.
I used to use this arrangement with USB mice + a Laptop trackpad.
