Not possible. You have to choose either sync or keyboard in lsdj.

Yeah of course, but I didn't mean have sync and kbd at the same time, I just meant having the option to use the PS/2 connector as both regular sync AND kbd.

No no, not at all.
I mean to use the PS/2 ports in lieu of a link cable.
I don't have a link cable and they're too expensive where I live, so if I'm gonna mod in a PS/2 port for a keyboard in my Gameboy, why not make it multi-purpose and function as a link cable as well?

I added something to your picture in the OP.
Male connectors at the bottom, from the front.

Yess i think this thing can work, i have think use usb cable it have 4 "track" 2 for power and 2 for data but if you solder 4 cable of gameboy in respective points you can get usb cable link smile  only cons is not compatible with all gameboy, only with your mod.   Remember the view point of female pin is inverted point in male.

I always put epoxy around the pins for added support, and it could also mount that jack. I've experimented with a bunch of different ps/2 jacks and the ones that ApeShit posted have worked the best for me. Another way you could reinforce the pins is to use heat shrink tubing.
