I rarely see a PS/2 mouse on anything other than a laptop or an IBM However, I believe that PS/2 is nothing more than an overgrown serial mouse.. I've got a logitech trackman, and it comes with a little adapter for the PS/2 port on the trackman.. if you get one of those, X will support it serially straight out.. I'd kinda like my system to have a PS/2 to free up a comm port, but hey, I can just buy more ports.. maybe I can get a PS/2 port card :)
