If you can set up myth to use a specific LIRC remote then I think you 
can do this.  I played around with it for quite a while, and ended 
patching LIRC to get this ability.

You'd have to run myth in a window with no decorations, and set the 
geometry up to position the two sessions in the right place. I'm not 
sure if both frontends would have hardware acceleration, though.  That's 
something you'd have to play with.

Set up X for dual head, single big screen, and then play with 
mythfrontend --geometry NNN to see if you can get them positioned.
