Yeah, DOSBox should pick up the mouse and use a wrapper. If I had to pick a culprit I'd say your DOSBox install may be set up wrong.
My Logitech MX-500 USB mouse works fine with it. you're right that within DOS it's very difficult to get any USB peripherals to work (you'd have to script the chipset drivers yourself to allow the USB devices to interface and that's no walk in the park) but DOSBox is an emulator so that doesn't apply.
Also, from the readme :

A: Normally DOSBox detects the mouse being used by a game. If you click on
the screen then it should get locked (confined to the DOSBox window)
and work. Sometimes the DOSBox mouse detection doesn't work with certain
games. You might have to force to lock the mouse then with ctrl-F10.
