Can you tell us why you want to do this?

Why? 
LIRC can receive any number of different IR codes from different remotes
without problem. I use this to control VDR from different remote brands
(Pronto and OFA). 
And multiple client programs can connect to LIRC concurrently. 
On the other side you will have a problem to start two concurrent lircd
because the lirc port will already be used. You may have to use a
different server port for the second lircd.
