No problem. You'll just have to make sure amavisd-new reinjects the
message to the same instance from which the message came. I think
amavisd-new is capable of this, but I don't remember exactly how.

Yes, obviously you can't have two Postfix instances listening on the same
port on the same interface.

What does "define amavisd-new" mean? A master.cf entry? Of course you can
have amavisd-new services in both instances. What makes you think
otherwise?

Two Postfix instances do not share a single master.cf, so if you want to
refer to a transport named "smtp-amavis" it must exist in the instance in
question.

The Postfix man pages are available from the Postfix web site.
