The simple answer is yes but you have to place them under 2 different mountpoints. As the detail is missing, it's unclear on what to suggest, for instance, 2 shoutcast source clients would require the trunk or kh branch release because of the multiple port usage.

mmmh I haven't understood... I've got to install a branch release of icecast or I'm ok if I only create a new mountpoint on a new port?

sorry it's my bad english

Icecast itself will handle many streams each with a separate mountpoint. If you use an icecast2 aware source client then you won't have a problem because the source client will provide the mountpoint to use but if you use a shoutcast style source client then no mountpoint is provided and then you'll have to get icecast to assume one. 2.3.1 will allow a single shoutcast style client to connect, a trunk or kh release will alllow more than one.

As you haven't said what codecs or source clients or platform you intend to use, we are left guessing. So the simple answer is yes
