Touch and VNC - possible to fake?

So I've taken to logging into a local Arch server on Android via VNC. The VNC client I use (bVNC) has decent mouse emulation, but it's still a little awkward.

I know GNOME apps now have support for touch events, and I'd like to try them out, but as far as I know no remote desktop software currently available actually supports touch events. They all emulate a mouse.

So is it possible to emulate a touchscreen using a mouse? I mean - preferably without having to hack the kernel or tigervnc or anything crazy like that.
