It would be possible not if you used different portsm but two
IP addresses (aliased onto the same H/W interface if necessary).
Using different ports does not work at all, as there is no way to specify anywhere
(to the rest of the world) which port a specific server uses (and that
is a good thing!)

But still, it would defeat the purpose of having a secondary at all.
