Yes, the 1.36.3 ebuild currently in portage runs a catalog version check to see that your catalog db version is correct. This version number is independent of your db server version (mysql, postgresql, sqlite) and is described in the bacula manual online.
The catalog db version checking is likely to be removed from these ebuilds in the future since the 1.36.3-r1 ebuild was committed blindly and removed a lot of things including this version check. It is arguable whether the catalog version check belongs in the ebuild, so I won't go into it here, but I'm hoping to get the bacula ebuilds cleaned up some more once the maintainership change is made and if I can keep developers from "fixing" ebuilds blindly like that. While I'm on the subject of Bacula and Gentoo, I don't know if I'll have time to get the current development versions into portage before Kern releases 1.38, and if that turns out to be the case then I will probably just try to get 1.38 pushed into portage ASAP and skip 1.37 unless any objections to this are noted. To answer your question about the second server, if you want to have two different directors with different catalogs and different versions of both the director and the catalog, you can simply create a second catalog database on your database server. For example, database name "bacula-1.34" for the 1.34 director, and database name "bacula-1.36" for the 1.36 director and then configure the directors to access their respective databases. If you want both directors to use the same catalog then you will need to upgrade the 1.34 director to 1.36 and perform the catalog version upgrade on it as well (this is documented in the online manual).
