Yes

One location for Nagios is sufficient, but configuration and state files 
must be separate.

You'll probably need two different sets of CGIs, compiled with their 
respective paths. IIRC, there is an environment vraiable you can set to 
point the CGIs at their state file, but setting this in an apache CGI 
environment is not something I know how to do :-)

Also, one apache is enough, just set up two locations for Naegios.

Of course the machine you run all this on should offer enough 
performance - Nagios can use lots of power.
