"...if you have an old Mac that really only does have one button, simply hold down the Control key and do a normal click..."
Or if your Mac notebook is multi-touch-capable (as in scrolling when you drag two fingers down the touch-pad), touch the touchpad with two fingers when you click.

If you know what you're doing, you can use standard Unix commands in Terminal (Applications > Utilities) to kill specific processes using their PID. Another update: In the Activity Monitor, double-clicking on a process will bring up a menu that will allow you to kill the process. I find this useful for killing runaway Flash plug-in processes that are eating up my CPU.
