In local/config.php:

    if ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] == 'www.firstdomain.com') {
      $Skin = 'firstdomainskin';
    } else {
      $Skin = 'seconddomainskin';
    }

If the two sites in fact have lots of duplicate content,
this ends up being one of the easiest ways to do it.  In fact,
this is what I do for at least two of my domains:

    http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Cookbook/Cookbook
    http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Cookbook

Same page, same wiki.d/, same local/config.php, different skins.

Of course, it's also possible to do per-group customizations of
skins, so that each wikigroup is displayed with a different skin.
