Haven't tried this in a while, as I'm using synclient now to do the job, but used to do what you're talking about by removing the psmouse module. If rmmod psmouse turns off your touchpad, and leaves the usb mice working, perhaps that would be a simple solution, with blacklist module, or rmmod script called by rc.local and a sleep.d hook assuming pm-utils.
