The new way is...using xorg.conf! :-)

This works for me:

Section "InputClass"
   Identifier     "Wheel Emulation"
   MatchIsPointer "on"
   MatchProduct   "TrackPoint"
   Option         "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
   Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
   Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
   Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

It is also documented in
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#xorg.conf.d
