I think so.

1)Write separate udev rules to create symlinks /dev/input/trackpoint, 
and /dev/input/touchpad

2)Configure these devices separately in xorg.conf, one as CorePointer, 
the other as SendCoreEvents.  Don't use /dev/input/mice.

3)With the touchpad, map the buttons 1/2  out of the way, so that they 
send button 9,10 events. (which will be ignored)

HTH,
