I think someone on the unity-forum tried this and reported positive results…

Vertex lights are rendered in one draw call (vertex+ambient is rendered in one call as well).

Of course, some shaders might be more complex; i.e. some shader might have two passes (=two draw calls) no matter what is the lighting setup.

Also, realtime shadows complicate the calculation as well (one draw call for each shadow caster).
