I've used dllimports under windows & windows ce where this often happens. You create two functions with different names and specify an entry point ( because the entry point is often the same in the two dll's ). From then on you can either use an if check on every call as dot net is helpful and will only try to open the dll when the code actually is called, the alternative is to use a delegate ( though this only works if the two functions take identical pointers ).
I don't have any code to hand, but I can dig something out if you need it.
