You can short-circuit KUniqueApplication's single
instance mechanic by using the --nofork command
line argument, however the --config command line
argument to specify a different config file unfor-
tunately doesn't work with applications that use
the modern KConfigXT framework to manage their
preferences, so they're going to start using the
same configuration.

For now, the most straight-forward solution would
probably be to build a second Yakuake with source
code modified to use a different application name
and config file name.

FWIW, the option to have multiple Yakuake win-
dows for multiple Xinerama screens from a single
instance is under consideration.
