Thank you for your answer. This is what I did.

SOLUTION: Luckily I only have to parallel websites, which means I 
aliased the two frontpages 'index' and 'default'. This emulates two 
frontpages, but is not the optimal solution.

I.e. what do I do if there are three or more sites and they all need 
different sitemaps? I could name them 'index', 'default', 'index.en', 
'default.en' - but that's still a hack, as I see it?

Any suggestions for a more general solution are welcomed :-)
