hi.
do you mean: i have 2 color buffers and 2 depth buffers and i want to mix them using opengl ?
if so, create 2 RGBA textures with the color buffers, set the alpha component with the depth.
in ortho mode, draw a quad that fit the screen with the first texture. then activate alpha test (parameter: GL_LESS)and draw a second quad with the second texture.

take care of texture filtering which could create artefacts.
