Sounds like you may have solved your problem already, but FWIW, serial
mice/trackballs can be plugged into the PS/2 port with a cheap adapter, if you
have a serial port.  That would free up the port if you still need it.

Also, after a bit of experimentation this week, I've concluded that the
2.4-series USB HID code works excellently (I now have two keyboards, one ps/2
and three USB mice working simultaneously in my X session).  Not that spending
more money is helpful to you, but if the other machine has a USB port it does
seem a viable option.
