A single background daemon can listen on only one port.  Just start two
separate daemons with configuration files that are identical except for
the "port" and "pid file" settings.  A "max connections" limit will
cover the total of the two daemons provided that both use the same "lock
file".  Alternatively, if you use xinetd, you can configure two xinetd
services (one for each port) that both point to the same daemon; this
way you need only one daemon configuration file.
