Not if one of the firewalls has a known vulnerability, and isn't being
repaired.
If you really need two firewalls for a DMZ, fork out the cash for a
second firewall machine.
For a home network, one firewall doing NAT should be more than
adequate - your biggest risk will be ping flooding, which is a financial
risk rather than a security risk.
