That will work - just like any other physically separate subnets. If your
existing gateway router has an extra interface, just connect there. You can
also use VLANs to make what will act like separate subnets use the same physical
wire if your network equipment supports it.

You could use separate DHCP servers on each subnet, or configure the router to
relay to one server (ip-helper address on a Cisco). The DHCP server will know
the subnet origin from a relayed request and can reply accordingly.
