How can I create a custom "Create Event" page that is only available through a certain ACL and includes everything on the ususal "Create Event" pages but the categories of events are restricted to one certain category?

You can customize the event page by following the instructions here:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Customize+Built-in%2C+Profile%2C+Contribution+and+Event+Registration+Screens

and see if you can get the category customized through an if statement in the template file. if it doesn't work there, you might have to alter the php page.

however, i don't think you could use an ACL rule to choose this template over the original since i believe the template chosen happens pretty much very last before building the page. i think the only way you could do that would be to put if statements either in the template itself or modify the php file associated with it. someone else probably has better info on this than me, but you can use the above link to at least get started customizing the page.

You should be able to accomplish this with a combination of the buildForm hook (to modify the Event Type field) and acl hook (which might validate access against a drupal role).
