I'm wondering if there's a way to have Fink make use of both processors
while compiling.
Sure, look at the concept of job slots in the developer documentation <http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/DeveloperTools/gnumake/ make_5.html> I find that adding -j 3 speeds up builds considerably. Some people find increasing this up to -j 8 helps, but it depends upon what you're building.

Some packages already do this. For example, KDE does. If you want to see what using all your processors looks like, build KDE and qt :) you will feel a bit of lag...
