If you don't mind continuous page numbering for the two volumes, I'd suggest 
creating it as one document (with child documents as convenient -- I usually 
use one for each chapter) using a document class which uses Parts (such as 
the various book classes), and put each volume into a Part. Then generate a 
PDF file for the whole book and use PDFTK to split it into the two volumes.  
You could use this tool to add a copy of the TOC to the second volume if 
desired.

If you want separate page numbering for each volume, it's a bit more 
complicated. You would need to reset the page number at the beginning of Part 
2, but I think this would give problems with cross references, the table of 
contents and the index.
