One of the primary reasons I wanted a dual-wan configuration was so our 1st
15Mb line wasn't saturated with large file transfers, which we do regularly.
The next reason is for fail-over and/or load-balancing.

That said, I've implemented a NAT device to get the 2nd line on a separate
gateway (as far as pf is concerned) and tried to setup ipSec on the WAN2,
but I hadn't previously considered NAT traversal with IPSEC which is now an
issue. This means that the local pf box doesn't see the remote gateway, it
see's the NAT'd IP.

I do use advanced outbound NAT to force certain traffic out WAN2. That said,
how do I get IPSEC working over WAN2 (aside from changing the selected
interface in the SA.

I'll correct my terminology.  You need two interfaces...virtual, or
physical.  Not that it helps the original poster any as he still needs
another physical box so his load balancer doesn't have two interfaces
with the same gateway.
