You may want to consider putting some swap space on both drives, because 
this will allow for (relatively) simultaneous access, and should speed 
up swap performance. Other than that, the only difference should be that 
you have two drives to select from when creating your FreeBSD slices, 
and will thus have two slices when it comes to actually making 
partitions and assigning mount points.
