Hi, technically it's quite possible to have two or more disjoint sets of $confdir,$vardir,... each for a separate agent process. Their respective Puppet version depends on the respective ruby search path.
That being said, I agree with Craig that this is likely more trouble than it's worth, ultimately. You'd really have to take a lot of care about the agents not mixing in weird ways.
