Yes.  You would need to add another Z39.50 service definition specifying the port for the second Z39.50 service, and copy the <server> section from the main "biblioserver" definition, updating id and listenref according.  Then to do the character conversion, in that <server> element's <retrievalinfo> element, change

<retrieval syntax="usmarc" name="F"/>

to something like

<retrieval syntax="usmarc" name="F">
  <backend>
     <marc inputformat="marc" outputformat="marc" inputcharset="utf-8" outputcharset="iso-8859-1">
  </barckend>
</retrieval>

Regards,

Galen
