Yes, it is possible and even easy.  Definitely read the available HOTWOs.
This may also help - the note I wrote to myself to remember how I got
the wheel working both as a scrolling wheel and as the middle button:

- download imwheel from freshmeat and then
	make
	sudo make install
- change XF86Config:

- modify gpm configuration:
	type=imps2
- add to .xinitrc:
	imwheel

There will be little differences depending on the Linux system you run
and how you start X, etc.  This is for Debian 2.1 and running X with
"startx" (vs. xdm).
