Yes. You need xkbset to switch on Pointer_Buttons for xmodmap.

xkbset m
xkbset exp =m

Afer this, you can do

xmodmap -e "keycode 113 = Pointer_Button2"
xmodmap -e "keycode 109 = Pointer_Button3"
xmodmap -e "keycode 117 = Pointer_Button3"

BTW: If the fn-Key would be visible in user space I could be used for
this.
