Here's a simple way to disable TinyMCE on textareas where the id is named dynamically. I needed this for use with the flashvideo_module. It creates a textarea that lists the uploaded video, and names it id = 'edit-files-XYZ-description', where XYZ is the file id (fid) and is unique to each node.
Step 1 of 1
Grab the theme_tinymce_theme function from tinymce.module, and copy it to your template.php file, renaming it to phptemplate_tinymce_theme, then modify it as follows:
function phptemplate_tinymce_theme($init, $textarea_name, $theme_name, $is_running) {
if ($textarea_name = 'files-'.$node->fid.'-description'){
$flashvid_exempt = $textarea_name;
}
switch ($textarea_name) {
// Disable tinymce for these textareas
case 'log': // book and page log
case 'img_assist_pages':
case 'caption': // signature
case 'pages':
case 'access_pages': //TinyMCE profile settings.
case 'user_mail_welcome_body': // user config settings
case 'user_mail_approval_body': // user config settings
case 'user_mail_pass_body': // user config settings
case 'synonyms': // taxonomy terms
case 'description': // taxonomy terms
case $flashvid_exempt:
unset($init);
break;
The rest of the code in this function is unchanged, so I didn't duplicate it here.
Hopefully this approach is useful to someone else.

I'd lose the first comparison and do something like the following:
... Actually, come to think of it, is $node even available in template.php?
