Theoretically, if you have a old serial ball mouse , you can connect it to SER1 or SER 2 and use the SERMOUSE driver on QL (I am still struggling to make it work ...)
Also I found a PS2 to serial adaptor board here: http://trolsoft.ru/en (look for: Adapter to connect a PS/2 mouse to a serial port)
I ordered one and it arrived quite fast, but I have not tested it yet
