Dual channel for us laptop users means installing memory that is matching in size (i.e. 2 x 1 GB or 2 x 2 GB modules) and the same speed and latency (if speed and latency aren't matched then the lower speed and higher latency would be used). If the memory modules you are referring to are the exact same but just come in two different packages then you will have no issues with running in dual channel.
EDIT: I just saw the ram I think you are talking about and it is $49.99 for each 2 GB stick. You know you can get 2 x 2 GB of OWC from macworld or whatever it is for cheaper (not much cheaper, but still cheaper).
What SVT said. If they are the same product, it's just a question of whether the manufacturer puts 1 into a package or 2 into a package and calls it a "kit."
Just curious, how much are they selling it for? I'm assuming you're in Canada so Newegg is out, but you can get 4gb online for ~$80 US.
