Yes no problem. I'm using two different GPUs with one xserver myself, works fine.
Code:$ glxinfo 2>/dev/null|grep renderer OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (JUNIPER 68BE) 20090101 TCL DRI2 OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RS780 9610) 20090101 TCL DRI2

I think what monraaf did was to create two Device and Screen sections in his xorg.conf, then join them with Xinerama.
If you want a big desktop with the ability to drag windows between screens, you need Xinerama if you have multiple GPUs.
You could also configure both as a single X server without Xinerama, using a single mouse/keyboard, but without the ability to drag windows across screen boundaries.
The third option is to configure two separate X servers, needing a separate mouse/keyboard for each and some multiseat hackery so they don't fight over the active VT.
You could forfeit one GPU and attach both monitors to the other; then you'd have a big desktop without Xinerama. For 2d and compositing that would probably be faster. Not for heavy 3d-apps (games) though.
