xemacs has this variable and associated feature:

`modeline-scrolling-method' (buffer: .emacs-i586-pc-win32, mode: Emacs-Lisp)


Customizable user variable:

  value: scrollbar

  *If non-nil, dragging the modeline with the mouse may also scroll its
  text horizontally (vertical motion controls window resizing and horizontal
  motion controls modeline scrolling).

  With a value of t, the modeline text is scrolled in the same direction as
  the mouse motion. With a value of 'scrollbar, the modeline is considered as
  a scrollbar for its own text, which then moves in the opposite direction.

  This option should be set using `customize-set-variable'.
