You could try to do round-robin on the nat rule, and route-to on 'pass
out' rules on the default route interface (nat comes first), like

  # assuming default route through $wan_if1 
  nat on $wan_if1 from $lan_if1:network to any -> { $wan_if1 $wan_if2 } round-robin
  pass out on $wan_if1 route-to ($wan_if2 $wan_ip2) from $wan_if2 to any
