I tried NetBSD 6.1 on an old laptop and can report that there have been some recent changes integrating a kernel driver for touchpads. Modular xorg from pkgsrc did better than the monolithic xorg but still was buggy. You may want to review the change logs at
ftp://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/ for the various versions and perhaps try one of the patched releases if the change log is encouraging. I do not know if the kernel driver for touchpads was backported into the 5x releases but that may be another option.
