I've only ever personally used it for USB devices, but based on
this I think it'll work as long as you avoid matching with ATTR (easy to avoid using). I think
this was the problem that came from debian a couple of years ago, but I haven't been around long enough to know for sure. AFAIK, it's all sorted out. I can't test my own because I don't have any PS/2 ports!
If you do manage it, I think UDEV rules are a more elegant solution than auto-running scripts at startup (although if his mouse is always plugged in, it comes to the same thing) but might be a bit more fiddly to set up.I'm sure there's a udev tutorial, either on this or the ubuntu forum somewhere.
But, gmilo2, if you do give it a go, I'd be interested to hear if it works out for you.
