Hi Rob,
On a Mac with a one-button mouse, buttons 2 and 3 can be emulated  
with the option and apple (clover) keys, respectively. For example,  
click-dragging with the option key pressed performs XY-translation  
(assuming default Mouse preferences).  However, in Mac OS Leopard  
(10.5), this emulation of a 3-button mouse is off by default; you  
have to turn it on in the Input section of the X11 preferences.

Here are the relevant man pages, although I think I summarized  
everything above.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
