I have head that some of the overhead lcd projection screens use a
splitter so that you have the image on the projector and also on the
mac screen using just one regular mac video card.  Trouble is the lcd
screens are still not very good quality, the grey scale ones are still
pretty limited and pretty flakey. However, not to get too
side-tracked, I suspect you could use a similar splitter to run 2
regular screens.
