There's a PKGBUILD in AUR of xinput, but I think it needs to be with the other Xorg packages in extra, probably even in the "xorg" group.
xinput is a utillity that can dynamically change different properties of the X input devices like the ones that otherwise need to be configured in the xorg.conf file or the HAL fdi file. For example, enabling wheel emulation of a trackpoint.
You can also use it to enable or disable input devices.
You're welcome to file a feature request for this, but I have a feeling it will be closed. xinput is older than Arch itself, and you're the first one to bring it up. I recommend you follow the proper procedure for this - vote it up, wait for it to go to community. Once it's popular enough to be in community, we can possibly move it to extra.
