You have two PWM channels in the 18F452. Use one channel for each fan.

The PIC can't supply much current to the fans, so you'll need an
external driver for each fan. I assume the fans run from +12v.
We used a logic-level FET (IRLIZ44N) as a low-side switch to control
a motor. There are many ways to do it.
