Yep.  You'll probably also want to add "priority=10" to their
options, like so:

/dev/hde8       none            swap    sw,priority=10          0 0
/dev/hdg8       none            swap    sw,priority=10          0 0

This will cause swap usage to be more-or-less balanced between the
two partitions.  Without explictly setting them to the same priority,
the first one added will be filled completely before the second is
used at all.
