I don't know if this would work for anything besides bouldering...
I once saw a guy simply take a big chunk of chalk and scrub it all over his fingers/palms. If you think about it, it's probably a pretty good method, since it gets a thick coat of chalk in every spot that needs it.
I still stick with the chalkball tho...it only costs 3 bucks at sport chalet and has an elastic closure for easy re-filling.

Thanks, all, made my long slow afternoon disappear a little faster.
Getting some strange looks from people wandering by my desk, mind you.
Even stranger when I say 'It's a chalk/balls/pantihose sort of thing - you wouldn't understand'.
Cheers
Barry
