I am currently using LAME on my Ubuntu 8.10 machine to encode .wav file into .mp3, but it is single threaded and could take quite a while to encode some long audio files. I also tried to use wine with LAME-MT(binary for windows), but it seems LAME-MT could only using 1 thread when running in wine.

I am wondering if someone could recommend a multi-threaded MP3 encoder for Linux?

couldn't you compile lame-mt for linux? Or possibly ffmpeg or mencoder, both of which should be able to encode via LAME, right?
