Thank you for your comments and suggestions! Running a virtual machine for the second setup is an interesting idea, but it is problematic, as I'm using MacOS X 10.6 and AFAIK it is not permitted to run it in a VM. I'm currently working with org-mode under OS X (Aquamacs) at home and under Windows 7 at work. (For a VM with Windows I'd need a second license and for using LINUX in the VM I'd have a 3rd operating system to fiddle with).
I could however create a second user account in OS X for such purpose and then try to sync the "shared" parts of the emacs/org-mode configuration files. I thought that it should be easy (give I know, how) to have 2 branches in my mercurial repository, one for the "general settings" and one also containing my private data. Another solution might be to have 2 different stages of emacs/org-mode configuration files and if necessary "reset" emacs and org-mode by a command and then only load the "public" configuration for demo purpose.
