I've done it with two serial ports.  What I did was to copy the entire 
lirc_serial driver directory in to  lirc_serial1 and change all occurances of 
serial in that directory to serial1.  I also had to add a few lines to the 
makefile.  Also, I had to use the 0.7 series of lirc drivers, 0.6 did not 
work.

Hope this helps,

Mark
