after skinning an object, select it and the joints you want to skin to for the second skinCluster.
click the button "create second skin cluster from selection"
you have 2 new surfaces to edit/paint weights on...
- *originalSkin (has the old skinCluster weights)
- *newSkin (has the new skinCluster)
the original surface now has an attribute called "skinClusterBlend" that blends between the 2 skinClusters.
at this point it appears/acts just the same as a blendShape between *originalSkin and *newSkin.. however..
after finalizing weights you can delete *originalSkin and *newSkin and it still works.
unfortunatly maya will not just let us edit the weights on the final skin.. so...
If you want to go back (after deleting *originalSkin and *newSkin) and edit weight, select the surface and
click "reCreate surfaces for weight editing"
