Hmm.. 'old' versions of TYPO3 (before 4.6) needed indeed two parameters:
First parameter was the path to an existing directory where you wanted 
to create a subdirectory (or several levels)
The second parameter was the path you wanted to create below the first 
parameter.

For example:
inside /var/www/mysite/fileadmin/templates/ you want to create 
images/portraits/
You can call
t3lib_div::mkdir_deep('/var/www/mysite/fileadmin/templates/', 
'images/portraits/'); to create these directories.

In 4.6 and higher you can combine the two paths. mkdir_deep will then 
create directories as needed and will make sure the mask and group 
settings are correct for all parts of the path.

Sorry about the confusion.
