Normally chipsets don't mix SATA speeds, if it supports SATA3 all ports would be SATA3. There can certainly be exceptions though.
As given in my example above, my Ivy Bridge laptop only runs at 3 Gbps on the caddy port. It uses Panther Point (HM77) which is rated for up to six SATA ports, but only up to a maximum of two 6 Gbps ports. However in most cases any newer system will be all 6 Gbps, yes.
