Google is especially effective at rooting out duplicate content through various methods. However, if they have entirely different content it should not be a problem. If they have the same content, expect only one to be effective. Don't duplicate the content, consider pointing the other domains to one site. Choose the domain suffix which best reflects the audience. eg, for a UK audience, choose the .co.uk
BTW, traditionally, .net has not done so well in the search engines as that suffix is normally for an ISP.
However, I agree with Engine that concentrating your efforts (at least initially) on one domain is best. We do have a .net that is now starting to make serious headway independently of its .co.uk equivalent, so we are now looking to capitalize on that but the original use of the .net was for offline advertising and PPC tracking... funny how it drifted to the top anyway after a year or two.
