Not with a PS/2, at least.
Although FreeBSD, NetBSD and Linux all differ in my xorg.conf (minor
things, such as one calling the mouse /dev/psaux, /dev/psm0 and
/dev/wsmouse) all let me use the scrollwheel (MS optical PS2 mouse)
with only the ZAxisMapping line.

I wonder if the Buttons 5 is a USB thing?

Chad, what happens if you comment that line out, does the scrollwheel
stop working?
