Assuming you don't want any overlap at all, it's pretty simple:
Just set PAN_HOME to different directories for the different instances,
i.e.:

  % echo $SHELL
  /bin/bash
  % PAN_HOME=$HOME/.pan2-real ./pan
  % PAN_HOME=$HOME/.pan2-weather ./pan

Having two copies with overlap is trickier, but /may/ be possible
with selective symlinks.  I wouldn't advise it though.
