practically no, (theoretically maybe, but it would be a pita mixing events 
from two sources). All pointer movement is driven by events that carry info 
about the pointers current state.  These events are read from the driving 
device and then given to gimp to do whats needed. However it is possible to 
substitute a derived dynamic, velocity, for pressure. I have already done 
most of the groundwork needed for this and events do carry velocity info, 
drawing tools just don't know at the moment how to use it...
