For folks who don't want to patch the kernel, the recent versions of
pbbuttonsd are able to set the USB trackpads to notap (in addition to
its primary function, which is to handle the laptop keys like
brightness, volume, power, as well as keyboard illumination and lid
closing). Packages exist in most ppc distros, or directly from
http://pbbuttons.sourceforge.net/projects/pbbuttonsd/
