Is there any way to copy a build definition? I work in a mainline source control methodology which utilizes many different branches that live for very short periods (ie. a few days to a week). I'd really like to copy a build template and just change the solution to build. Is there any way to do this?

Go to team Explorer. Select the particular build you wanted to clone. Right Click -> Clone Build Definition.
A build definition is the mechanism that controls how and when builds occur for team projects in TFS. Each build definition specifies: The things you want to build, like Visual Studio solution files or custom Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) project files.
You can download the new TFS 2010 power tools. It has the option to clone a build definition.
See http://msmvps.com/blogs/molausson/archive/2010/10/21/clone-a-build-definition.aspx for an example
Note: Be aware that the Clone only works when you did NOT pop out the Build window.
