This is by way of a thought experiment; I haven't tried it.

Recent versions of MinimServer have greatly improved the performance of the software when it is working with a music library on another device on the network. So you could have one instance of MinimServer running on the NAS where the music folders are stored, addressing one set of folders, and another instance running on a PC or Mac running on the same network and addressing another set of folders. By selecting (in the control point) the server instance to be used, you would be selecting different music libraries.

In certain limited cases (and again I haven't tried this), it is also apparently possible to run more than one instance of MinimServer on the same device. This possibility is IIRC documented on the forum. Again, these separate instances could presumably address different sets of library folders.
