I'm using 2 Matrox Millenium cards under FreeBSD.
On one card VGA support is disabled and only one is running for
textmode.
I'm also using only one set of keyboard and mouse - but I asume it
should be possible to use more under X.
I can't speak for textmode with more than one card but X11 is running
fine with more than one card - only the xinerama mode crashed while
starting.

You can define specific devices in the serverlayout section.
It's described in the XF86Config manpage.
You the start the X sessions giving the layout as a parameter.
