Mike,

they sell PS2 to USB adapters. That should work. I briefly searched the Pi 
forums and people report this works. I'd recommend trying to get a dongle 
online for <$10. If that doesn't work there are 3 button mice available that 
are USB.

There was a list for some time of available 3 button mice but I think that has 
not been updated recently.

Thanks,
Calvin
