There is a plugin that will handle a lot of this for you: http://abeautifulsite.net/blog/2008/05/jquery-right-click-plugin/

Or if you wanted to roll your own:

Check out the docs for event.which: http://api.jquery.com/event.which/

You can detect which mouse button was clicked:

$('.clicky').mousedown(function(event) {
switch (event.which) {
    case 1:
    alert('Left mouse button pressed');
    break;
    case 2:
    alert('Middle mouse button pressed');
    break;
    case 3:
    alert('Right mouse button pressed');
       // you would want to prevent default behavior and trigger a click 
       event.preventDefault();
       $(this).trigger('click');
    break;
    default:
    alert('You have a strange mouse');
}
});
