We know that there will be 18 civs and 26 leaders. This means that 8 civs will have 2 leaders to choose from.
We already know six of these:
England: Elizabeth, Victoria
France: Louis XIV - cultural, Napoleon - militaristic
India: Gandhi - pacifist, Ashoka - imperialist
China: Qin Shi Huang Di, Mao Tse-tung
America: George Washington, F.D.R. (no Lincoln?!)
Mongolia: Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan
My theories:
Civs likely to have two leaders are civs that exhibit widely different personalities over the course of their history.
Civs unlikely to have two leaders are civs where their behavior is pretty consistant (ie. Mongolia - during the major portions of their history they were warlike conquerors. It wouldn't make much of a difference to have a leader in addition to Genghis Khan, as Ogedei Khan, Batu Khan, etc. would be likely to behave exactly the same.) [Edit -- Well, I was wrong on this point!

Civ likely to have two leaders:
Greece (is in!): Alexander (confirmed) - militaristic, Pericles? - cultural
Russia: Peter I or Catherine II (both the Great), Stalin
Egypt: Hatshepsut (confirmed), Ramses II? - imperial
Rome: Julius Caesar, any number of possibilities, including Augustus, Caligula, Nero, Marcus Aurelius, etc.
Civs unlikely to have two leaders:
Babylon: Hammurabi or Nebuchadnezzar would be very similar
Aztecs: Montezuma
Germans: Otto von Bismarck (I think this has already been confirmed, besides, Adolf Hitler isn't PC)
Malinese: Mansa Musa?
Incans: Pachacuti or Atahualpa
Arabs: Saladin (confirmed)
Civs that could go either way:
Persia: Cyrus, with Darius, Xerxes, Khomeini as possible seconds
Japanese: Tokugawa Ieyasu, Emperor Meiji?
Spanish: Isabella, Ferdinand, Philip II
Well, that's 19 civs, so one of those won't even be in the game! What do you think of all this, eh?
