There likely will be a big difference, the 6*1 CPU solution is likely cheaper and delivers much better and more predictable performance! This is because you won't end up with a skewed CPU load with one doing all the page serving/Tcl work and one only running a DB proxy. You'll probably end up with one CPU under utilized.
I would say: If you are set on using 2 CPU boxes, use Linux. If you really want BSD, use only single CPUs for the front-end.
