Yes, COM3 and the bus mouse can co-exist.  Just put COM3 at IRQ 2 or 5 and put
the bus mouse at the remaining IRQ.  Getting COM4 up will be a major feat
though since all of your IRQs (2 through 7) will be used.  But COM3 and the
bus mouse is no problem.  Just make the appropriate change(s) in your space.c
file.
