No.

Maybe.  If they are pci (cardbus bridges) based, then yes, you should
have pcic0 and pcic1 and both should use the same IRQ.  And pccardd
will assign cards that IRQ no matter what.

(unless you are using ISA interrupts...)

:   stick it in here.  To a user of an inspiron 3000 166, I can not configure
:   my pccard irq in bios, so is irq 11 the right place for one or both?

Maybe.  If that's what FreeBSD is using, it is very likely to be correct.
