How do I tell XP to ignore the fact that there is no keyboard
connected to the PS2 port, and to activate the PS2 port so that it can
accept data sent to the PS2 port?

I have a USB keyboard, but have an old barcode scanner, which runs in
a wedge configuration off the4 PS2 port. The PS2 port seems to be non
functioning, even though I can see my barcode scanner's output being
sent to the PS2 port.

Use a USB to PS2 converter on your keyboard.
