Well, the Kinesis keyboard comes with up to two footpedals. As soon as they release their Sparc version, this could be a good starting point. You could probably do something truly messy with xmodmap to turn your virtual keyboard keys into mouse buttons. It wouldn't be *terribly* difficult to hack together yourself. Start with a standard Radio Shack footpedal. Get the pinout of the mouse cable, and insert in the appropriate place. Getting the pinout is probably the only hard part.
