The only potential problem is the content types. There are entries in the content types table for each model and it needs to contain information about all the models. So be careful when you're running syncdb. What you're trying to do here is not dissimilar to just using different settings files for the same database, as in this tip: http://www.pointy-stick.com/blog/2009/03/26/django-tip-controlling-admin-or-other-access/ On the other hand, if the two websites are entirely independent, putting them into a single database is simply poor design. It's trivial to create a separate database and why not use the tools that are available instead of adding extra complexity?!
