I've had success running multiple concurrent instances of torque (just for testing) by editing src/include/pbs_ifl.h to change the ports and also changing the service names and adding /etc/services entries.

Eg. torque_mom         17002/tcp

I think that with this approach, the risk of the separate instances conflicting is lowered.
