you have to modify the kernel source,
i used to have a small patch, but i deleted it by misstake.
As far i remember you have to modify drivers/input/keybdev.c
in the function where the keyboard registers to allow only registering of PS2
keyboards (i think useing the PHYS field).
may be you can find it in the lists for about 3-4 months or a bit more.

about the mices, you can use them independent.
you just have to use the apropriate device files:
/dev/input/mouseX where X is the number of the mouse starting from 0
will give you independent mices
 
/dev/input/mice will merge the input of all mices, so don't use it


best,
