You would find it much easier to use SketchUp if you drop to the track pad and start using a standard 3-button mouse with scroll wheel. You'll use the wheel for zoom and have much better control over it.
i use my trackpad with sketchup a lot.. as in, i'll do entire drawings with no mouse 😉..
dunno, it's ok now and will only get better in the future..

you can use the ZOOm tool for fixed rate of zoom..
it's *cmmd- * or via the menus, Camera -> Zoom (though it will only zoom to the center of the window instead of where your pointer is)
likewise, you can adjust your tracking speed (globally) via System Preferences -> Trackpad -> Point & Click -> Tracking speed..
but all that aside, sketchup is more or less content aware when it comes to zooming/navigating.. so you're better off becoming familiar with it as that's the way it is.. i think if you did a survey, you'd find very few complaints amongst the more seasoned users regarding navigation in sketchup.. it's pretty darn good.
