You can open as many instances of digikam as you like. (see how changes are 
distributed across open instances as well). But if you currently change the db 
path in the config dialog it will write it to the config file, and the nepomuk 
service will read from this config file.
There is no principal problem as well with having two instances of digikam 
accessing different DBs.
