There are 3 button mice available for the Atari. Also possible is to change
a PC mouse for this purpos. I did this with a genius mouse and this works
fine. But you must know where is the hot end of a soldering iron. :-)

To build a monochrome only server you must change one file in .../hw/amiga,
I think amigaGC.c or similar. This file contains calls to the initializing
code of the different framebuffer driver. There you must comment out the
calls to the ipl driver. Next you must change the Makefile in programs/Xserver
not to link the ipl driver.
But it has no advantage to do so. The code don't get faster, because it
is always used the framebuffer code necessary for a given depth. The only
advantage would be to get a smaller binary. But because of the demand paged
executeable of NetBSD this has no advantage of the memory usage of the 
server.

No way.

Use this map:
keycode   4 = 3 section
keycode   7 = 6 ampersand
keycode   8 = 7 slash
keycode   9 = 8 parenleft
keycode  10 = 9 parenright
keycode  11 = 0 equal
keycode  12 = ssharp question
keycode  13 = apostrophe grave
keycode  14 = BackSpace BackSpace
keycode  21 = z Z
keycode  26 = udiaeresis Udiaeresis at backslash
keycode  27 = plus asterisk
keycode  28 = Return Return
keycode  29 =
keycode  39 = odiaeresis Odiaeresis bracketleft braceleft
keycode  40 = adiaeresis Adiaeresis bracketright braceright
keycode  41 = numbersign asciicircum
keycode  42 = Shift_L
keycode  43 = asciitilde bar
keycode  44 = y Y
keycode  51 = comma semicolon
keycode  52 = period colon
keycode  53 = minus underscore
keycode  96 = less greater
keysym Alt_L = Mode_switch

Best you load this map after the server statup. E.g. if you use xdm, load
the code from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0.
