In man XF86Config:

Emulate3Buttons 
	enables  the  emulation  of the third
	mouse button for mice which only have  two  physical buttons. The   third
	button is emulated by pressing both buttons simultaneously.                                                                           
Try putting this in the pointer section of XF86Config.  Look
at the man page for more info.

gpm is the application for console mouse.
