Many ways but...

Many ways but you don't give details on your aptitudes.
Are you a front user, a developper, a themer ?

Have you tried the panels module ?

If you know PHP and are able to edit your theme, you can redirect the template specifically to a path :
in your case by using the API function "drupal_is_front_page".
This function return a boolean that indicate you if you're on the front page or any other pages.

I'm sorry, I didn't yet use D6 (or so much little), but in D5 you can do this in the template.php :

<?php
function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  ...

  if (drupal_is_front_page()) {
    $vars['template_file'] = 'page-3cols';
  }

  ...
}
?>

And prepare 2 main templates : page.tpl.php with two cols and page-3cols.tpl.php with three cols.
Another way will be to do a single page.tpl.php with block regions expendable if one of them is empty.
I hope this will help you.
