Yes, it's quite easy to configure.

You need to define two contacts, one for each of the email addresses,
then you can specfy which contact will receive the notification using
the 'contacts' directive in your service definition.

See:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service
and
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#contact

In fact you might find it best to set up contactgroups too, which
makes it easier to move people from one contactgroup to another
without editing all your service definitions.
