If you can satisfy your freelance work with 1 day a fortnight then you obviously havn't got that much freelance stuff on. I'd say take the promotion and do the freelance at nights/lunchtime/during work hours. If the freelance increases from there you could then approach your employer about cutting down your days but from a higher position. In my experience it usually suits employers to give managers flexitime rather than lose designer hours.
If you've been asking for it then you obviously want it. If your freelance doesn't grow anymore then you'll be regretting turning it down in a years time maybe. In short I guess I'm saying it sounds too early to potentially jeopardize yourself based on the amount of work you've built up outside so far.
