Great news! My ALPS PS/2 Glidepoint Touchpad has vertical and horizontal scroll right out of the box on Precise ALPHA. 
16.637] (II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: failed to open grail, no gesture support This is still not available but baby steps are good.
Thanks to whomever got me this far. I am posting the applicable xorg.0.log portion in case it helps someone.
