System Prefs. Either under Hardware>Keyboard Mouse or Other>and then whatever MS mouse package is. I think. Been awhile since I've messed with it.

I take it you've tried it out? I seem to recall that many two button mice default to a click/control+click arrangment. I could be stoned, tho.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
