Is there an add-on I can buy so I can use my PS/2 Microsoft Wheel Mouse on a Mac? I need to have it to play Starcraft: Brood War!

Hardware wise the mouse should work just fine with your mac. And assuming that the nouse has a PS2 cable end. Most mice in the past couple years have shipped with an adapter on the end that goes from PS2 to usb. This is so that the mouse will work on any system. If you don't have one look hard and one usually pops up ( at least for me) Otherwise they can't be more than a couple bucks at any computer store
Quicksilver 867, 700mhz iBook, 1st Gen iPod, iSight, Newton 2100, and a 128k Mac. All operating and used on a constant Basis

I have a few PS/2 to USB adaptors lying around. They seem to have come with all PS/2 devices in the past few years...

...tried eBay?

I always get USB to PS/2 convertors, never the other way around.
