you just have to write a fdi file and drop it in
(eg.) /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mapping.fdi

The file would look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
    <merge key="input.x11_options.ButtonMapping" type="string">3 2 1</merge>
  </match>
</deviceinfo>

This will match any mouse. They are selectors for more specific devices
but I do not have this on the top of my head right now. Hope this
helps.
