I have a similar dual monitor xinerama setup.  When I enabled first-fit 
placement, I sawf the desired behavior of:

LEFT   |  RIGHT
1 2 3  |  4 5 6
7 8 9  |


My /usr/share/sawfish/1.3/lisp/sawfish/wm/placement/smart.jl has the 
following version information:

My Debian package version is: 1:1.3+cvs20050222-1
