Here's an old snippet from MacOSXHints that seems to contain a clue:

<http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20011024201323249>

defaults write -globalDomain com.apple.mouse.scaling -float 9.9

works for me. I shut down computer (Powerbook Pismo) or remove USB Microsoft mouse and I still have set settings in .GlobalPreferences.plist

I imagine there's more to mouse speed than one parameter, but a "defaults read -globalDomain" only showed that one. Maybe you could install MouseZoom and see what it does to your defaults -- kind of reverse-engineer it.
