You can, see /servers/socket/{2,26} or /dev/[pt]typ0.  The trick is to
tell each entry where the other entry is as a command-line option.

term is probably easier to have a look at: see the file_set_translator
call in hurd/term/main.c.  The idea is that the translator attaches
itself as an active translator on the other node.  Since it explicitly
create another control port, it can serve things differently there.

Yes.  Perhaps it'd be easier.
