yes you can coz in apache conf virtualhost directive you can specify the name
and location of each .htpasswd file.

Yes you can. I have one of my servers setup that way. Just specify in your .htaccess where it should look for the password file.

Can someone post an example of a .htaccess file using more than one htpasswd file?

If you're asking if you can have multiple password files for the same DIRECTORY, then the answer is no. If you want to password protect multiple directories where each directory has it's own password file, then the answer is yes...you just put a .htaccess file in each directory, pointing at the appropriate password file.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/auth.html has good information...

here you go, this is what I use
----
AuthUserFile PWFILES=/var/www/virtual/passwords/passfiles.txt
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Members"
AuthType Basic

<limit GET PUT POST>
require valid-user
</limit>
----

you can have multiple pass files for one directory. There are a couple ways to do it.
