Dual Gb LAN for NAS

Would 2x PCI-e Gigabit LAN ports be more beneficial in a storage server (NAS) than a single Gigabit LAN? This server would have either dual Xeon, or a single dual core processor, as I understand each 2x Gigabit LAN port would then be assigned a processor or core, making data transfer over the network faster, correct? My dual Xeon workstation, which I sometimes use for video editing, has 2 gigabits port. Would this dual Gb LAN rival fiber channel?
 
It will depend on how many computers you will have accessing the NAS.
If you have more than 1, probably it will take advantage of the second Gb LAN port.
But it will also depend on the OS or program that you are running on the NAS. It will have to have the ability to balance the load between the 2 Gb LAN ports.
