Yeah, use 2 input device entries in xorg.conf, with the second one
pointing at /dev/input/mice.  Just make sure to list both in the
ServerLayout section.  Mine is setup with:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default"
        Screen      0  "LCD" 0 0
        InputDevice    "touchpad" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "usbmouse"
        InputDevice    "keyboard" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "usbmouse"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Buttons" "8"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "SendCoreEvents" "On"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "touchpad"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/trackpad_evt"
        Option      "Protocol" "event"
       <Lots of options deleted>
EndSection
