I would like to have a buy now button with a terms of agreement check box. Is there any way to have this on Paypal?

Ideally the buyer would have to check the box agreeing to the terms of agreement before they could submit the buy now button.

Yes, however, the item button code requires a script to validate the selection. As the online button creator cannot generate scripts, this has to be done manually.

See the example below for some ideas, there's a Buy Now and Add to Cart you can check out.
