Mm, this line says the trackpad is added as a raw input device:

[ 10.121135] apple 0003:05AC:0236.0002: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.11
Keyboard [Apple, Inc. Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad] on
usb-0000:00:04.0-6/input0

So, most likely, bcm5974 cannot claim the device. To confirm, it should
suffice to see that the line below returns no output:

grep bcm5974 /proc/bus/input/devices

The problem is that I cannot off-hand think of a way to set the
ignore-mouse quirks in the jaunty kernel; things were moved around quite
a bit, and it seems to me some of the quirks possibilities were removed.
Compiling a custom kernel is of course always an option.
