Question adding a second display, keyboard

Customer is wanting to add a second display and keyboard to a unix system.
Sernario:
Medical office has unix system with five dumb terminals, and a VGA/SVGA monitor, PS/2 keyboard. They want to remove one of the dumb terminals and replace with a second VGA/SVGA monitor and keyboard. Can this be done? Will they be able to input from both keyboards at the same time? What kind of hardware would be involved in this process. Is this the right area to ask this question? Thank you for your help.

KBDMUX(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 KBDMUX(4)

NAME
kbdmux -- keyboard multiplexer SYNOPSIS
device kbdmux In /boot/device.hints: hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1" DESCRIPTION
The kbdmux keyboard driver provides support for basic keyboard multiplexing. It is built around the idea of a ``super keyboard''. The kbdmux driver acts as a master keyboard consuming input from all slave keyboards attached to it. Slave keyboards can be attached to or detached from the kbdmux keyboard driver with the kbdcontrol(1) utility. SEE ALSO
kbdcontrol(1), atkbd(4), syscons(4), ukbd(4) CAVEATS
The kbdmux keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into K_RAW mode. Thus all slave keyboards attached to the kbdmux keyboard share the same state. The kbdmux keyboard is logically equivalent to one keyboard with lots of duplicated keys. HISTORY
The kbdmux module was implemented in FreeBSD 6.0. AUTHORS
