There's no make_migrants_come_faster_dammit in init.txt.  The game hardly needs one;  if you haven't adjusted the cap to sane numbers yet, rest assured you'll soon be overwhelmed.

Why would you want them to come faster?!
they come in hordes for me and i hate it

An easy way is to grow some quarry bushes, process them to bags and then cook them to lavish meals. When you have experienced farmers and a good cook these will be incredibly valuable. This will attract more migrants (unless your fortress is known to be a deathtrap).
Of course there are other ways to create more wealth.

Is this a question of "how do I make migrants come more frequently than once a season (except winter)" or "how do I make more migrants come each season when they are spawned"? The former, there is no solution. The latter - exported wealth, advertised with dwarven merchants.

[LIBIDO:9000]? 

This could work. If you want a bunch of unskilled workers with family relations, add this to the [CREATURE:DWARF] entry:

[LITTERSIZE:<MINIMUM BABIES PER BIRTH>:<MAXIMUM BABIES PER BIRTH>]
[CHILD:1]
[BABY:1]

Don't forget to remove the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] token.

Then wait until a few dwarves pop out some babies, wait two years and you will have a huge population growth. Unfortunately this will make you VERY vulnerable to tantrum spirals since the workers have close family ties. Also I would recommend that you refrain from setting the maximum baby number to a ridiculously high value like 200. That will cause a lagbabysplosion, then the mother will starve to death while collecting them all, then you will have 200 suicidal unadoptable orphans, then you will have to build 200 coffins, all while your PC is lagging to hell.

Can we add [LITTERSIZE] to the males?
