In order to properly handle focus and input, you will need to run two
separate X servers. This cannot be accomplished on a single graphics
card. You will need to use two videos cards, one for each display. If
you do not have a board with multiple PCIe x16 slots, stop now. If you
have to buy a new board and second video card, then just buy a second
system.

The method described there maps each remote as a keyboard input, and
have nothing to do with the network control port or LIRC. If the
devices show up as separate inputs, you can use the independent
'keyboards' for each X server. If they only show up as a single input,
then this will not work.
