Yes, you can have two BGP sessions between two BGP neighbors if you use
two pairs of IP addresses, IMHO it should work even if all addresses have
the same netmask.

I don't think you should have two 'listen bgp' options. AFAIK there is
only one listening BGP socket in BIRD, but it is OK to have it listen on
0.0.0.0 (default value). Incoming sessions are dispatched based on their
source addresses.
