I am using some custom cursers that I got from resexcellence before they shut down/changed everything. They are very simple to use, just a system extension into the System Folder, no problems with Mac OS 9.2.2 here ...

The files are called 08-12_MacOS8-9-cursors.sit , cursor_dicker.sit or cursors-07-02.sit but seem to be gone from the net completely?

A few more can be found at http://www.pure-mac.com/faceliftclassic.html
