That's where ModelBaker comes in to be handy. You can make separate project files and have separate project folders each using separate databases.
You may want to pick up a copy of VirtualHost in order to be able to test multiple sites (aka multiple projects) at the same time. You can learn about VirtualHost here: http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/25689/virtualhostx . This little product has saved me lots of hassle with multiple projects. Also, you can pick up two free utilities for MySQL administration and queries at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html. Very helpful!
