man xmodmap(1) for how you can change the meaning of the mouse buttons
from the shell. Then bind a short script doing that to a key in your
window manager configuration, and another one to change the mapping
back. Then you'll be able to paste with the right button (for example)
as long as you're in that mode.
This is what I do on my laptop with only 2 buttons.
