Not really necessary with a microcontroller, if you design carefully.

The chips power up with the ports as inputs.
If you implement a couple of handshaking lines and a few logic gates, you 
can connect both chips to the SRAM directly.
You don't HAVE to use the SRAM interface after all, you can do the lines as 
I/O pins.
