They will both compete for the same light, soil, water and nutrients so when
they begin to overlap they will each do somewhat worse than they otherwise
would have. That said, unless you are growing to hit the really, really big
ones, it probably won't make a significant difference. Also, if you do in
fact lose a vine later in the year, having that second one will be well worth
it. If the soil is well amended and you keep tertiary vines to a minimum you
will probably do fine. I suggest keep the main vines away from each other so
that when the pumpkin does set, it has a clear area to grow.
Good luck
