Well, as long as it's just two meters that's no problem. Most conductors have two hands. And conducting two different meters at one time is actually a rather common practice for conductors to train independancy between your hand movements.
But in more complex cases, such stuff is often played with click-tracks. Give every musician some earbuds with their own metronome clicks and it works nicely, even though the use of click-tracks is shunned by many, since it detracts from listening to the other musicians. But in very complex cases it's probably the only viable option. (But I'm thinking of different tempi here too. If it's just different meters with the same fundemental beat, that's not really necessary. Every musician just has to count well.)
