AFAIK selinux-userspace libraries then have to be installed, but SELinux 
itself can be disabled in its main configuration file.

BTW I maintain SELinux enabled "packages" in the AUR and for most of them just 
recompile is needed, for some though some patching has to be done.

If I may add more to this SELinux related thread, I would like to aply for TU 
and bring SELinux packages to community in the summer, to make using SELinux 
easier.
