No.

Your choices are:

1. To add the users from the second system to the first one
with a bogus shell to forbid logins but still use UNIX as a password:
2. Add them to the /etc/raddb/users file directly on the first system.
3. Use a RADIUS server that handles proxy requests and set it up on both
machines - note that Livingston's server does not do proxying.
