There isn't a good solution for that.  At best, you could lay out one 
PCB, and then convince the netlist tool to treat the netlisting of the 
second design as an update, and proceed as if you were simply deleting 
and adding parts.

But of course, you end up with two designs that each need to be updated 
when changes occur in the common portions of th design.
