Why do you call it the "sixth" button?  What are buttons 4 and 5 (and
don't say wheel up/down, those aren't buttons :)

I think you might need to simply change your XF86config file to read

   Option      "YAxisMapping" "5 6"

since on a standard 3-button/wheel mouse it's "4 5".  I know
"ZAxisMApping" is what you had, but the manpage says YAxisMapping is
the one you need.  Docs for the mouse driver in X are unfortunately
obscured by the FreBSD mouse manpage, but you can get to them with

man -M /usr/X11R6/man mouse
 or
lynx /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html/mouse.4.html
