Sadly its a software thing. Mac OS X does not support two users logging in and working locally. Actually, I don't know an OS that does. Many OSes allow for multiple users to log in and work remotely and Mac OS X does support that. But that is a bit different from what you are talking about.

It's neither here nor there, but this is the basis of serial consoles and mainframes/terminals. You can take most any UNIX/Linux box and enable a getty on the serial port and log in with anything that is a dumb terminal or emulates one. Or, a dirt-cheap dumb X terminal for graphics.
It's not much use for OS X since text-only or X11-only would miss out on most of OS X's capbility, but it might be a fun thing to try :)
