It's not difficult.
You need:
2 IP address
2 Samba installations with different base path


First you need 2 IP address, you my make an alias on your single Network
Interface Card or have 2 separated NIC.

get samba sources from sdamba.org, compile and install in 2 different
trees,
eg: ./configure --with-prefix=/usr/local/samba1
    make
    make install

    make distclean

    ./configure --with-prefix=/usr/local/samba2
    make
    make install


Then make any configuration on the two smb.conf
(/usr/local/samba1/lib/smb.conf and /usr/local/samba2/lib/smb.conf)
In smb.conf set these parameters:
bind interface only = True
interfaces = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

for every smb.conf set one of the IP you have on your machine instead of
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

so if you have 2 IP 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.2.2 you may bind SAMBA1 and
SAMBA2 to these IP respectively!

hope this is all you need!

Obviously more IP/more installation tree means more samba servers!
