I've got a Supermicro P6DBU (dual BX) mobo. Right now I'm running a single P3-600 Cumine slot 1.

Anyway, I want to add another P3-600 to my board. This seems crazy, but at one point I heard that you had to be careful to match processors in dual boards--i.e. plugging in another random P3-600 cumine might not work.
Personally, I'd expect any old P3-600 with 256k cache would do fine. Am I right or is there more to it?

You are correct that any Pentium III 600MHz CPU with 256KB cache will work fine. What would not work is if you put in an 800MHz Pentium III or something else with a different speed grade.
