Your certainly not alone -- most Macs have one button mice.

Yes. See Below.

>From The Yellow Dog Linux Champion Server 1.1 User Manual page 68:
# TSS Software Engineers¹ Notes
#
# Mouse Emulation
#
# In order to configure your system to emulate the 2nd and 3rd
# buttons on ADB systems, you will need to add the following
# to the BootX kernel arguments: adb_buttons=1,103,111
#
# The above kernel argument will enable your F11 and F12 to
# keys to become the 2nd and 3rd mouse buttons.
#
# USB keyboard users may simply use the NUM-LOCK and ³=²
# key on the keypad for the 2nd and 3rd mouse buttons
# respectively.
It's a pretty good manual, I recommend you keep it handy. If you don't have
the printed version, get the PDF version from ftp.yellowdoglinux.com.
I keep mine just like this:
xpdf /mnt/machd/Documentation/guide_v1.1_72dpi.pdf
