USB Overdrive is probably what you want.

I have installed, right mouse button should emulate control key by default, but is not working in games which i have tried:
Diablo I - cursor not working at all, when mouse multi button options is used in start game panel
Diablo II - same
Warcraft II - mouse is working, but right button is ignored, regarding of USB overdrive it should emulate movement (if control - ctrl on Windows keyboard),
even i would hold right button and press left one
I even tried to emulate it in Finder - CRTL+Menu give me some pop-up, holding right button and left click - give me nothing.

You can have the second button click work in SheepShaver as control-click (or other combinations) with "TheMouse2B" control panel. Now freeware and available through Macintosh Garden: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/themouse2b-11

You may have to remove/disable USB Overdrive to make it work.
