you can do as the above poster suggested. an alternative way to do the same thing is to simply hold the trackpad button down for a few seconds. the above-mentioned method is better, though.

On my late 2007 MBP 2.2G, two fingers on teh trackpad during a click is a right-click.

In system preferences, go to keyboard & mouse. Make sure "Tap trackpad using two fingers for secondary click" is checked. Then you can just right click using two fingers on the track pad.

If you have the newest MBP just touch the trackpad with two fingers and click.

you need to turn that feature on in the keyboard & mouse system preferences first before you can do that.
