That's no secret - it's in the system preferences (iirc)
Everything what has to do with a second mouse button usually has to  
be enabled in the system preferences (like the second mouse button of  
a mighty mouse) except you are attaching a "real" two-button mouse.

And you have a right click with one button as well: ctrl+click but  
software should be designed in the Apple-world that you can handle  
everything with only one mouse-button - you rarely need a second one  
in the Apple-world. Actually I can't remember a piece of software  
right now where I have to use the context-menu.
