As a follow up to this, I did install several instances of jmeter on one box.  
When I try to run more that one headless, I get the following stacktrace:

Waiting for possible shutdown message on port 4445

Is there way to pass in the 'shutdown' port so that each one can listen on a 
unique port?

Thanks...Rob

I was asking myself the same thing last night. I think I will just run multiple 
independent instances.

Both the suggestions (separate ports, separate IPs) will work fine,
though you should probably start the servers in different directories
so they each get their own log files.

But why not just run multiple independent non-GUI instances on the box?

Since you are using a single box, there will be no issue with clock
synchronisation, so merging result files should be simple.
