Using counters/output pin to drive multtiple XI

I'm playing with PropForth's Master/Slave configurations and part of what it provides is for the Master Prop to use one of its counters to drive a pin to use as the XI for the Slave Prop so it can provide clock. This works great in a Singel Master/Slave arrangement.
I want to have one master controlling two slaves and would like to use the same counter/pin to provide clock for both slaves. I'm just not sure how much the XI draws and if it would need to be buffered somehow to prevent injury to the master.
The code could be rewritten to use a different counter for each and two pins for clock but I'm trying to be green and save resources (and avoid rewriting the working code).
Thoughts??
Thanks!!
