Hi, I have the last Powerbook (HR) with the 2 finger scroll built in. I've tried sidetrack but it dosen't work; how do you map the hardware button to right click or use 2 finger tap for right clicking like the new Macbooks? Thanks.

Hold down the control key while clicking to "right"-click.

Yeah, I've used that before, but how can I remap the hardware button to right click or use 2 finger tap?

I have my Powerbook using iscroll2. I have right click triggered with 2 fingers on the trackpad while clicking the physical trackpad button. iscroll2 lets you map to your hearts content!

That's only available on the Macbooks, unless you use iScroll.
