Ok, so in /etc/XF86Config:
Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "wsmouse"
    Device      "/dev/wsmouse0"
    ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection

This will map mouse movements to button 4 and 5. Now you just need to
teach apps to do something with there buttons: I have in my $HOME/.Xdefaults:
!# Scrolling on wheel mouse: half a page normally, line per line with shift
XTerm.vt100.translations: #override\n\
 Shift<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>:scroll-back(1,line)\n\
 Shift<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>:scroll-forw(1,line)\n\
 Ctrl<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>:scroll-back(1,page)\n\
 Ctrl<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>:scroll-forw(1,page)\n\
 <Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>:scroll-back(1,halfpage)\n\
 <Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>:scroll-forw(1,halfpage)\n\
!# In the scrollbar we map buttons 5 & 4 to 1 and 2 otherwise, core dump
!# This will move proportionnaly to cursor position but we dont know how to
!# program the same exact behavior as in the text widget.
XTerm.vt100.Scrollbar.translations: #override\n\
     <Btn5Down>: StartScroll(Forward)\n\
     <Btn4Down>: StartScroll(Backward)\n\

I found this on the web but I don't have the URLs any more :(
I think gnome applications handle the wheel out of the box, kde may too.
