Detecting multitouch iPhone-like "tap" on MacBookPro

Question

After a period of iPhone work, I'm once again working on normal Cocoa apps on my MBP
and I miss the "tap" gesture. I know that I can turn on the incredibly annoying "Tap to Click",
feature in the Trackpad control pannel, but I don't want a click, I want a tap.

I know it's probably not mac canon, but is it possible to receive this multi-touch style event?
