Well, nothing will break if you mix them up. It's just the command protocol which is different. I recall there was a Linux hack-patch which could use an extra keyboard in the mouse connector.
Not to say there weren't problems. I had a Compaq couldn't speak to most PS/2 keyboards, so when my keyboard broke, I had to go find another Compaq keyboard on campus before I could use the computer again.
