I don't think this can be done within Ferret. However,
depending on your purpose, there are other ways to do it.

One thing to note is that it certainly is possible (easy)
to define two different viewports on a single page. See
the documentation for DEFINE VIEWPORT. There are a variety 
of pre-canned viewports available, or it is straightforward
to make your own.

Otherwise, if you want to display gif figures on the web,
use FRAME to make 2 gif files, then combine them in a simple
html web page:

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<img src="http://....../filename1.gif";>
<p>
<img src="http://....../filename2.gif";>

For hardcopy, if you use Fprint to make two postscript files,
you can then (Adobe) distill them to pdf and use (Adobe) acroexch
to combine them to one file.

But what is the purpose? Why is it necessary to have them in
a single, two-page file?
