I have done that for years without problems.With even more instances.

You just have to compile two instances with differnet install-prefix.
Then you need to configure a second IP-address on the network interface.
something like 
	ifconfig eth0:1 ip-address ........

In smb.conf configure samba to bind to that second interface using the 
parameters "socket address" and "interfaces"

And of course you need different netbiosnames...
