I did a grep for 101 and 109 across linux/include/input.h - 101
is the lineffed key (?) and 109 is the pagedown key.  Personally I use

echo 1 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation
echo 87 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button2_keycode
echo 88 > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button3_keycode

which sets F11 to the MMB and F12 to the RMB.
