Good question. Does the tiny X server support PS/2 mice? If it does then
your in luck.

To do this compile the kernel for the ipaq with:

In the driver/input directory

Input core support
Mouse support
Horizontal screen resolution '320'
Vertical screen resolution '240'

In drivers/char enable:

Joystick support
Serial port input line discipline

Compile the attached serial mouse driver.

Then do a if compiled all as modules. Otherwise if they are all built in
just run inputattach. 

insmod input.o
insmod serio.o
insmod serport.o
insmod sermouse.o
insmod mousedev.o

inputattach -bare /dev/ttySA0 &


Now if make sure you have a /dev/input/mice device. If not just do a

cd /dev
mkdir input
mknod input/mice c 13 63

Now for your XFree86 4.0 server config file have the following:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "mouse"
  Identifier    "Mouse[1]"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
  Option        "Emulate3Buttons"       "on"
  Option        "Name"          "AutoDetected"
  Option        "Protocol"      "imps/2"
  Option        "Vendor"        "AutoDetected"
EndSection

Now you should be ready to go.
