There's also a NVRAM setting named local-mac-address? which enables
separate MAC addresses for each of the NICs, at least on newer hardware.

I don't know if this works on a SS2 and with NetBSD.

But if the two interfaces are on separate networks there's no problem
in having the same MAC address on both.
