Can you run 2 Emby servers on different hardware but use the same port

On the same internet connection too.

Yes and No.  Yes both can coexist, but you can only port forward to one of them.

You can run many different apps through one port like 443 if using a domain and they each have their own A record such as emby1.domain.com, emby2.domain.com, emby3.domain.com plus any other others like www, dsm, clouddrive, storage, etc...

The trick to doing that is run a reverse proxy receiving all traffic on the 443 port which then looks at the address and forwards it internally on your LAN to the proper machine/port combination.  This is pretty common.

The second way without using a reverse proxy is to simply allow each Emby server to use different remote ports which are each opened on your router and forwarded to the proper machine/port combination.
