It depends on how you look at it. Not having a horizontal scroll
bar is a terminal issue, but not having the ability to scroll using
the mouse is a vim issue. The w3m browser allows scrolling with the
mouse in a terminal and it can be very handy. I don't know of any
way to get that behavior in vim, though.
The best I can suggest is binding some gross scrolling commands
to function keys. See
:help scroll-horizontally
for a list of commands. You might be able to get your mouse's
scroll wheel to execute horizontal scrolling commands. See
:help xterm-mouse-wheel
