Is it possible to run two instances of the Dropbox client on a machine, one for each account? If yes, ok, no big deal. If not... what a PITA.

Yes, although there's not an officially supported method:

The second link is basically a modification of the method from the first link, and has been working well for me for a few weeks. One caveat is that any apps which make us of dropbox for syncing (e.g. 1Password) seem to automatically use the first/normal dropbox instance, which can't be changed.
