There are 3 button mice for macs ;o) The recent X server release has USB
support as well (I would wager iBooks only have USB and not ADB... my
powerbook only has USB). 

I have never used X in linuxPPC... and I have a 3 button mouse for my
laptop. I will check the LinuxPPC website on that one. I can't find any
info... I would imagine they are emulated (of sorts) with ctrl+click or
option+click as they are in MacOS. *shrug* I have never thought about it
:o)

There is a website on linuxPPC and the iBook that I just came across:
