I don't have any experience with systems with two Pentiums in them,
but I do have an AMI Titan-II EISA/PCI motherboard (which can accept
two Pentiums) that I use to run (among others) FreeBSD.  I haven't had
any "headaches" with the mixing of EISA/PCI with my system.

Just one data point for you...
