Yes, there is middle-button emulation. You have to run xf86config or XF86Setup to enable it, or edit /etc/X11/XF86Config directly (in the Pointer section): Emulate3Buttons Emulate3Timeout 50 Pressing both buttons at once will emulate the third button. This works in tty/console mode as well, but you need to install gpm first (apt-get install gpm) if you haven't already. gpm uses the right mouse button instead of the middle on my setup, but that's likely configurable.
