Do you want something like

(let ((server-1 (hunchentoot:start (make-instance
'hunchentoot:acceptor :port 1111 :request-dispatcher
'my-dispatcher))))
       (server-2 (hunchentoot:start (make-instance
'hunchentoot:acceptor :port 2222 :request-dispatcher
'my-dispatcher)))))
 ...)

or am I missing your question?

In a non-MP lisp, hunchentoot:start would block, which is what the
sentence cited from the documentation explains.

I can't see any need for subclassing as Leslie has suggested.
