Mostly. It's pretty well determined that setting up two DSL links to increase the performance of a single TCP session (your FTP file upload) is going to be more pain than it's worth (particularly if the discussion has gone way, way over your head, as you indicate!). :)
presuming that two dsl links to the same premises would both be using the same route, compiling bonding into a kernel and creating a bonded interface in mode 0 should work.
this quote from linux bonding.txt:
balance-rr or 0
Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
