there's no dedicated protocol that I can think of. The various remote desktop solutions have input parts to them (VNC, Spice, etc.) and I'm sure there is enough home-cooked stuff for the various 'use my phone as touchpad' applications. Forwarding evdev directly over the wire is simple enough and if you create a uinput device on the remote end it'll slot in perfectly with the rest of the input stack.
