Well, here's how I do it:
With versions 2.0.3x you have to edit the Makefile and set the SMP
variable to 1 (uncoment de line where 'SMP = 1' is).
With 2.2.0preX just
make xconfig
set the SMP option to yes in the Processor Type section.
Then just make your kernel as always:
make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install
