No, because they are different ttys.  What would cause dueling gettys
would be if you had both 00 and "console" turned on (or E0 and "console"
in the wscons case).

Try this:

console	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		vt100	off
ttyE0	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		vt220	on	secure
tty00	"/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"	unknown	on	secure

You will get a getty on both tty00 and ttyE0, so if the bootblock
configuration gets screwed up you will still be able to log in on
the serial port, but since /dev/console is not marked "secure", you
will need to enter the root password to get a single-user shell.
