The former (os bisavôs) means exclusively a group of two or more men (cf. English great-grandfathers), the latter (os bisavós) is used for a group of both men and women (cf. English great-grandparents). Both are masculine nouns. The plural of bisavó (great-grandmother) is a regular feminine noun (as bisavós) and means great-grandmothers.
