No need, udev should be fine. The driver doesn't recognize your trackpad
apparently. Check /var/log/kern.log, it should say:
Mar 30 16:38:23 localhost kernel: /home/johannes/sys/kmod/tp/=build/appletrackpad.c: USB Trackpad device now attached to USBAppleTrackpad-0
Mar 30 16:38:23 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver AppleTrackpad

Maybe your trackpad has a yet different USB device ID? Send me the
relevant part of /proc/bus/usb/device (or the full file if you want)
