So on the AMD website it says:

"500W (or greater) power supply with one 75W 6-pin PCI Express power connector recommended"

Does anyone know if there are any brands of 7870 actually require a single 6 pin connector rather than dual?

Probably a mistake, since it says four for Crossfire. Though it might also be allowing for the use of a molex to PCIe adapter.

Even the reference 7870 required two 6-pin PCIe power connectors, so I doubt you'd find any that gets by on one (the TDP is beyond what is officially supported with just one 6-pin connector).
