I'm afraid you cannot - unless you patch the source to facilitate multiple 
PAM service names (assuming you are refering to openssh).

The easiest quick solution would be to compile a second copy of openssh 
changing auth-pam.h to specify the service name to something other than 
__progname

Then you could use the second sshd (which I assume you would install 
somewhere under /usr/local/) as you wish.
