I have my NHibernate configuration successfully set up in my web.config file. However, I am also using ASP.NET Membership which requires a connectionstring to be defined in the connectionStrings element. Is there a way I can make my NHibernate configuration use this value so I don't need to define the connection string twice?

You can use connection.connection_string_name element in the NHibernate configuration. Have a look here. Then NHibernate will get connection string by name from web.config file
You need to use the connection.connection_string_name attribute in the configuration:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="default" connectionString="server=(local);etc." />
</connectionStrings>
<hibernate-configuration xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2">
<session-factory>
<property name="connection.connection_string_name">default</property>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
With fluent configuration you can do the following
ConnectionString(c=>c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("YourConnStrName"))
With NHibernate configuration API you can do the following:
var cfg = new Configuration();
cfg.DataBaseIntegration(db =>
{
db.ConnectionStringName = "default";
});

I wish you quoted the solution to give me hints as the page is not found anymore :(
Just to add to sly's answer, you can do this using FluentNHibernate like this (in your fluent config):
.ConnectionString(c=>c.FromConnectionStringWithKey("con_development"))
