I have in the past. You can run multiple servers listening on the same
port by specifying multiple PORT statements in the TCPIP profile for
port 25 with different userids.

Not from the IP side. If your mail were arriving via the spool (eg, the
way it was done back in the CMS days), then you could do so, but not via
TCP. 

Just a caveat though: if you do run multiple SMTPs, you will start
seeing messages arrive in somewhat random order (see this list for an
example), where you often see replies before the original message.
