Is there a program that will allow me to play on my pc with a PS3 controller? ?
Having tried this, I have the following recommendation. Use the wired Xbox 360 controller.
Motionjoy is, I felt, an unstable 3rd-party program that can cause problems and frustrations. For example, pushing two buttons at once seems to confuse it. You may also see sticky-button type glitches that cause Motionjoy to just input one button repeatedly.
The wireless 360 controller turns itself off when you are busying in menus or taking a short break. In 1.0, you had to restart the whole game to get it to go active again. Or you could just leave it plugged into the charger at all times.
Therefore, having tried all the options myself, I highly recommend the wired 360 controller for playing on PC.
You can go to a website to download the support files, which will support your key-mapping in a much more functional and stable program.

That stinks! Maybe I can find another program.
99% of the time I'll be keyboard+mouse but for times I'm gathering or crafting or just being plain lazy it would be nice to use a PS3 controller as I already own one.
Buy one of these. It is an excellent controller that functions exactly the same as a PS3 controller, and even feels very similar. I used it a little for beta weekend and loved it. The only reason I won't use it exclusively is because I absolutely hate that you have to hold down trigger buttons to access your abilities. I wish it was just a hotbar that you could use the dpad to move through.
I think once they actually give us some controller options it would be nice if there was an optional setting where just hitting R2 or L2 would keep that half of the hotbar open without needing to hold the button down. I'd also like an invert axis option for controllers. Other wise, I think the controller worked really well. I did notice some targeting issues, but I never went into the options and tried to adjust anything. I will be messing with it on the next test time though.
I saw an option under I think "Character settings" that changed the L2 and R2 to "toggle". Did not try this myself. There was another option, like "press once" or something as well. Might want to take a look.
Also, I know for sure that the option to invert the controller is available. Are you on PC or PS3?
The option to invert camera is separated for controller and keyboard, so you shouldn't have trouble finding this. The option for the hotbar toggling was a bit more obscure to find.
I highly suggest opening each and every settings menu and scrolling down to see the options available!
