Yes. However:

1. On Unix/X11, you may be able to simulate it by pressing both
buttons simultaneously. For XFree86, this behaviour is enabled by use
of the Emulate3Buttons option in the XF86Config file.

2. For the "generic" Windows port (wingrass_generic), you can simulate
the middle button by using the left button while holding the Shift
key.
