If you're thinking about having two equal versions with different EAPIs,
that's not allowed by GLEP 55:

"Note that it is still not permitted to have more than one ebuild with
equal category, package name, and version. Although it would have the
advantage of allowing authors to provide backwards compatible ebuilds,
it would introduce problems too. The first is the requirement to have
strict EAPI ordering, the second is ensuring that all the ebuilds for a
single category/package-version are equivalent, i.e. installing any of
them has exactly the same effect on a given system."
