No, this is not normal.  Hal should always show a mouse, for example:

udi =3D '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/psm_0'
  freebsd.device_file =3D '/dev/psm0'  (string)
  freebsd.driver =3D 'psm'  (string)
  freebsd.unit =3D 0  (0x0)  (int)
  info.addons =3D {'hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse'} (string list)
  info.capabilities =3D {'input', 'input.mouse'} (string list)
  info.category =3D 'input.mouse'  (string)
  info.parent =3D '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/atkbdc_0'  (string)
  info.product =3D 'PS/2 Mouse'  (string)
  info.subsystem =3D 'platform'  (string)
  info.udi =3D '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/psm_0'  (string)
  input.device =3D '/dev/sysmouse'  (string)
  input.x11_driver =3D 'mouse'  (string)
  platform.id =3D 'psm.0'  (string)
