XEmacs allows you to set the shape of the pointer by changing the
image property of a pointer-glyph.  Normally these are taken from the
standard X cursor font, but arbitrary images can be used (up to the
limitation of the X server, of course).  I don't know if it's possible
to use an empty image, but you could certainly set it to a one-pixel
image, possibly even the color of the pixel the mouse is currently
"on".

Maybe Emacs has a similar facility.
