You are right: the single-port version is actually the 5703. Here's
the dmesg output for this particular one:-

pci5: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib4
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5703X Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x1100> mem 0xdcff0000-0xdc
ffffff irq 48 at device 1.0 on pci5
miibus0: <MII bus> on bge0
brgphy0: <BCM5703 10/100/1000baseTX PHY> on miibus0
brgphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX, 1000baseTX
-FDX, auto
bge0: Ethernet address: 00:10:18:16:43:d6

No idea on this one. Where do I usually disable this -- in the BIOS I presume?

Here's the dmesg for the dual-port version:-

pci5: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib4
bge0: <Broadcom BCM5704C Dual Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x2100> mem
0xdcff0000-0xdcffffff irq 48 at device 1.0 on pci5
miibus0: <MII bus> on bge0
brgphy0: <BCM5704 10/100/1000baseTX PHY> on miibus0
brgphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX,
1000baseTX-FDX, auto
bge0: Ethernet address: 00:10:18:11:2a:0d
bge1: <Broadcom BCM5704C Dual Gigabit Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x2100> mem
0xdcfe0000-0xdcfeffff irq 49 at device 1.1 on pci5
miibus1: <MII bus> on bge1
brgphy1: <BCM5704 10/100/1000baseTX PHY> on miibus1
brgphy1:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX,
1000baseTX-FDX, auto
