You can have multiple wallets in two data directories. So:

- copy your existing data directory to a new one. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Data_directory

- delete the wallet.dat file in it

- run bitcoinqt/d with the datadir option pointing to the new directory and a different port:

bitcoin-qt -datadir=  -port=8334

- It will create a new wallet for which you should set a password.

- create a shortcut for the above command.

It would be even easier if you used a client other than bitcoin-qt. Electrum, multibit, armory all support multiple wallets.
