there is no way.
the only thin you can do is to share the drive from one mac.
the second port is for daisy chaining with other devices.

This.
Also, you're lucky it didn't let you mount it on both machines. You would have corrupted the contents of the entire disk had you done so.
Takes few seconds to share the drive.
For best performance, use gagabit ethernet network to share.
