Yes it is, if you run these commands as root after launching your X Server:
/sbin/mousemode 3 66 #Set the interrupt handler for the third mouse button
to 66 so the kernel sees it.
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2" #reverse the order of the mouse so that right
click, works and doesn't give you middle click.
Note: This doesn't work for the middle button, so your out of luck. It works
fine for kernel 2.1.125 (or even 2.2.7 I compiled myself which I am running
now) for me, your luck may very. No patches needed.
Also, there are some ADB trackballs that work under Linux in case you are
wondering.

In case you are wondering, TOE has created a backport of the audio-input
kernel driver for 2.2.x, so if you want to record sounds from the Microphone
you need to get his patch at ftp://ftp.linuxppc.or.jp/users/toe/. How's that
for a tangent when you need a good one :)
Recompile. Recompile.
