I don't think it's possible to "switch" to bzip2... BackupPC will use gzip-like compression, which is not exactly like gzip but similar to it. If you have spare CPU and want to compress harder, you can tune the compression level of backups in your config.pl, IIRC it's set to "3" by default, you can use "6" (default for gzip) or "9" (stronger compression) or anything in between, those will use more CPU and compress better. AFAIK, the existing files in your cpool will not be recompressed, so until they are phased out (removed from the original machines) I don't think they will be replaced by a copy that is more compressed... I'm not aware of a script that goes through an existing cpool recompressing the files, but there might indeed be one that does that.
