No problem at all.  Choose another port and forward it to the other
system's port 22.  Then invoke ssh from outside with the -p <portnumber>
option.  I do this all the time.  Hardest part is remembering which port
goes to which system inside, but if you use port number that correlate
to IP numbers (port 801 forwards to xxx.xxx.xxx.01, etc., it's easy).
