F0rkz, Linux will mostly evenly spread running processes around processors as it requires, indeed. This applies to forks, threads, and completely separate processes as long as you don't fiddle with the processor affinity. I can't see why a multithreaded game server would be much use, especially considering a game server instance only uses a fractional part of a CPU core these days - as you may have seen people are running 64 L4D forks on dual quad cores without much issue.
