Sure,  this is what you'd need then in your xorg.conf's mouse section:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "Auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
        Option      "Emulate3Timeout" "80"
        Option      "EmulateWheel" "on"
        Option      "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Buttons" "3"
        Option      "CorePointer"
EndSection

Works great on my Thinkpad R50e.

Cheers,
Marcin
