I agree with Chris to some extent on that. Have a dba "on-call" throughout the day with some one in the office that can support the devlopers and end-users but it's tough to determine the extent of the workload without actually knowing what type of workload is going to happen - say like some major revisions might require more involved support in which case having someone on an "on-call" basis won't work (ie., one takes care of the heavy duty stuff while the other deals with the day to day or minor stuff). If it's minor work then it should be fine.
However, you also mention security in your comments. I am going through some audit stuff right now and a few things come to mind. If you have audit considerations to deal with then you would need to have at least 2 people - since no one individual should have 2 or more critical functions to administer (SOX section 404). Also if one is sick or on vacation (do we still have that ;-P?) then having a second person to cover off who can deal with some of the critical functions is ideal which makes it now 3 individuals. This is just an assumption on my part though so take it what you will.
Just some thoughts.
