the latter. starting Pd with "pd -alsamidi 1,1" (apologies for the weird syntax), should give you 2 midi-in ports and 2 midi-out ports. you can also select "alsamidi" via the media-menu, and chose the number of ports you want.
btw, i've updated the "aconnectgui" patch in externals/iem/aconnect that provides a graphical interface to change connections (from within Pd). you can now modify the number of midi-ports Pd provides from within this patch. (it doesn't set the midi-API to ALSA by itself though)
