Yes, it does.  Logitech has "SetPoint" while Microsoft has "IntelliMouse", both reputedly have an expanded 
selection of functions for extra buttons.  X-Mouse is also available.

Testing SetPoint, unfortunately I cannot simply map button 3 to "scroll down" and button 4 to "scroll up" -- 
the closest it offers is two autoscrolling options (with subtle differences between them).  The only 
complaint here is that both autoscroll modes are toggles and not modifiers.

On an aside, turns out I absolutely never use button 4....
