I use a Magic Trackpad, too, and I wonder why the multi-touch can't be used to simulate chording.
Aside from that, though, I don't understand why I can't separate Acme/Rio from Plan9. I'd love to explore Plan9 more, but a proper 3-button mouse (when one can be found) is $50+, and (as far as I can determine), I can't just login through a terminal.
The UI is, to me, the least interesting aspect...but I can't explore the rest of the system without going through the UI.
You can run inferno (which has a similar userland) as a process in Linux, and I have plan9front on a Raspberry Pi that I use as a terminal (with vt and ssh2 to log in to other machines as well as VNC for using a browser remotely).
