It all depends on the workload they must support. In my single CPU (800MHz / 256Mb / IDE HD), I usually have two or three Tomcats for development, but that's because the workload in my machine is very low (only one client, me :-)
In production, you should test how performance degrades when you add another Tomcat server. Without benchmarking it's imposible to know the answer to your question, as it all depends on your applications, and the use you make of them. Anyway, a single tomcat instance can be configured to serve multiple web applications from different ports, or virtual hosts if you prefer. And it will need less resources than multiple ones. You could consider it as an option.
