No node may declare duplicate resources, but that does not mean your
overall manifest set cannot do so.

Absolutely:
class users::serverA {
user { 'bob': ensure => 'present' }
}
class users::serverB {
user { 'bob': ensure => 'absent' }
}
Nodes may include at most one of those two classes, but there is no
problem with both being available.
There are several other ways to approach the problem as well.
Depending on the circumstances, I might look to a data-driven approach
based involving the create_resources() function, for instance.
