The wheelmouse works for me.

I start mol in a vncserver on mac linux like this:

vncserver :22 -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768 -alwayshared

/home/.vnc/startup is just one line:  exec aterm

The first time I connect to the vncserver, I type "twm &" in the aterm 
followed by "imwheel &" and finally "startmol".

You need twm in there so you get a decent cursor, and especially so that you 
can restart mol remotely when it crashes.  Imwheel makes the wheelmouse work.

I can then use mol from any computer on our network via vncviewer and the 
wheelmouse always works perfectly.

Imwheel is in debian unstable and probably in testing.  It works just great 
and doesn't need any configuration.
