Yes and no, at the moment venus and the kernel-module have problems with
multiple realms, because different objects in both realms have the same
object identifiers. However, with the introduction of masquerading
support (client is no longer bound to 2430/udp) and the multiple mount
feature that was introduced in Linux 2.4 a "poor man's" multirealm is
possible.

Run a second venus with an alternative configuration file,

/etc/coda/venus2.conf
    kerneldevice=/dev/cfs1
    mountpoint=/codarealm2
    masquerade=1
    rvm_log=/usr/coda2/LOG
    rvm_data=/usr/coda2/DATA
    venus_cache=/usr/coda2/venus.cache
    etc..

There are still several issues, such as clog which can only pass tokens
to the first venus process.
