The function keys that control brightness, volume etc. in MacOS may act 
as separate ADB device - you can force them to send normal keyboard 
events by adding
option FORCE_FUNCTION_KEYS
to your kernel config.

Please grab the latest src/sys/arch/macppc/dev/ams.c and amsvar.h from 
- -current.
When the driver detects a trackpad it should set up a sysctl node like 
machdep.ams0.tapping which defaults to 1 - set it to 0 and tapping the 
pad shouldn't cause button events.
Works on my PowerBook, if it works for you as well I'll have it pulled 
into 4.0

have fun
