Try searching for Multiple Carts on the icdevgroup website tons of info.
A link to get you started:
http://www.icdevgroup.org/doc-5.0/frames/ic_ecommerce_8.html

You will have to code your pages to reflect your changes there is no plugnplay 
component.

Remember to put [cart cartname] on the top of all pages/components where you display 
the cart info, it bit me when I was setting a two cart system.
