You will need different Buildroot builds yes, but you can use a single
Buildroot source tree. Basically, your i.MX6 system will need one
Buildroot configuration (.config file / defconfig file) and your i.MX8
system will need another Buildroot configuration (another .config file
/ defconfig file).

You can build both configurations in parallel based on the same
Buildroot source tree using "out of tree" build, see
https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_building_out_of_tree.

Hope this helps,

Thomas
