No bother at all ... You would not do it with different ports, but with IP
aliases on the server, or Virtual servers ...

1.  Set up you machine with two IP addresses on the one interface, say:
    10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2.

    Set up two smb.conf file, each specifying an interfaces line with an 
    IP address and a bind interfaces only = yes

    Start up the appropriate daemons and specify their config files on their
    command lines.

2.  Specify a NetBIOS alias in the smb.conf and include files based on 
    the NetBIOS names, giving you virtual servers ...

What you describe is perfect for Virtual Servers ...
