Can you run 2 repraps from one computer? I'm hoping you can by just opening repsnapper twice

I have done it with the one repsnapper installation. I have had 3 printers running at once.

are the repsnapper configurations identical except for comm port number used, or are they in different directories? are you using sd card or printing directly from host?

I was only using repsnapper to sent the gcode. I generate the gcode using skeinforge. The only thing I had to change in repsnapper was the port number.
