FWIW, this seems to be working for me with one codebase, multiple vhosts, 
separate databases, separate configurations.

Essentially, this was achieved by creating multiple RT_SiteConfig.pm files in 
the same directory, e.g. RT_site1.example.com.pm, RT_site2.example.com, and 
then using the RT_SITE_CONFIG environment variable to select the relevant 
configuration:

  RT_SITE_CONFIG=RT_site1.example.com.pm rt-setup-database --action init

and in the vhost configuration (using fcgid):

  ServerName site1.example.com
  DefaultInitEnv RT_SITE_CONFIG RT_site1.example.com
