Not directly. I believe it would be fairly easy to add an option to the 
webpage generator so it could collect data from multiple Xymon servers 
into one set of webpages, but it hasn't been done yet.

You could probably setup a "pseudo" mirror installation on server2, 
which just runs "xymongen" to generate the webpages locally, but 
collects the data from server1 (by setting XYMSRV to server1 when 
running xymongen). That will cause it to fetch the Xymon status from 
server1 once a minute, which may be "good enough" for you.
