If you are using the 2013 single player depot.. the ep2 content is still there, so you don't need to do anything other than make sure it's referenced.
if you're using the multiplayer one you will need to do some filesystem hackery to try and mount the ep2 vpk's because they're in another folder. Or make users manually copy from sp -> mp or.. just use the single player version since it's identical other than game code. the only issue might be the server browser, unless you can override appid and stuff, then it wouldn't matter. with old steam filesystem it was trivial. in the 2007 sdk, i added code to auto-mount other game depots by simply entering the appid in the gameinfo.txt but that doesn't work with 2013, because of steampipe. actually, it doesn't work in the 2007 sdk anymore either, now that everything is moved to steampipe.
