Pristine, versatile, and portable, the MOTU M6 desktop 6x4 (not counting headphone outputs) USB-C audio-MIDI interface combines high-class audio performance, a robust bundle of DAWs, virtual instruments, loops, and samples, and a feature set that makes it equally powerful and user-friendly for musicians, podcasters, and producers, all at a highly affordable price point. With its four mic/line/instrument preamps and two balanced line inputs, the M6 can record anything from dynamic and condenser microphones to electric guitars and drum machines in distortion-free, sparkling clarity. Equipped with top-notch ESS digital-to-analog converters that drive the main outs and the headphone jack, the M6 lets you monitor through your speakers and headphones with the dynamic range normally found only on much more expensive interfaces.

Are there separate buses for the two headphone amps, or do they share buses with the line outs?
The Headphone outs on the MOTU M6 USB-C Audio/Midi Interface are mirroring the Line Outs (1/2 and 3/4). You can toggle between monitoring line out 1/2 or 3/4.

It appears that the Monitor 1/2 and Line 1/2 both only output Channels 1 and 2. Is that correct?
Can Channels 3/4 be outputted
Both the Monitor 1 and 2, and Line Out 3 and 4 connectors on the MOTU M6 USB-C Audio/MIDI Interface can be used for connecting monitor speakers or sending line level output to another destination, carrying the output signal from all four input channels. Additionally, the Monitor 1 and 2 outputs are labeled as "A" to use for primary monitor speakers, while the Line Out 3 and 4 connectors are labeled as "B" to use for a secondary pair of monitor speakers.

Can this be used as a decent field mixer/recorder? Given the rear XLR's and USB, it seems to have potential!
Regarding the DC power issue in BHs response to your question, in some cases the M6 (and the M2 and M4) can be powered via USB. The following is copied from the user manual:
When the M6 is connected to a USB-C host computer or iPad, it can be powered by its USB connection to the host. When connected to a USB-A host computer, youll need to connect the DC power adapter to supply enough power.
