If they can run on two different frequencies:

Create two wpan-phy's - yes. (Which is a _device_ class)

If they run on two different PANs:

Create two wpan interfaces on top of one wpan phy.

But so far I remember it is some crazy "I can transmit on different
pans with internal channel hopping by doing hardware offload" (It's
still _one_ radio, in sense one transmit/receive medium) then do:

nothing of that above - this need to be handled by some internal
subsystem handling, if a use case exists.
