You can also do this:

$('a[rel=external]').attr('target', '_blank');

Make sure to put this code below your links to work.

just wondering if I want to make rel="nofollow" the links using this method if the Googlebot will really consider it. Anyone?

here even more simplified:

$('a').attr('target', '_blank');

and for rel=nofollow: $('a').attr('rel', 'nofollow');
