Yes, it is possible.
 
Most mouse drivers allow to assign/map a button to a keybord key or key combination (e.g. Alt+F4). And in AutoCAD (in the CUI dialog) you can assign hotkeys to commands and macros.
 

AutoCAD 2000?  There was no CUI file.  That version used menu files.There were as follows:.MNU  Template menu file in ASCII text format..MNS  Menu source file generated by AutoCAD from the .MNU file..MNC  Binary file compiled by AutoCAD from the .MNS file.  This is the file that is loaded..MNR  Binary file containing bitmaps..MNL  Menu support file containing AutoLISP code required by menu.It is the .MNU file you would have to edit.  Specifically you would have to make your edits to the section of the ASCII file labeled as ***Buttons and/or ***Aux.  Got all that?The .MNU file can be opened and edited using Notepad.  Keep a virgin copy of the file just in case you screw up for backup purposes.
