Yes, the premium comes with a second key, but you can not install your Win2k3 as a virtual server running Hyper-visor hosted by the SBS 2008.
Well you can, but it is not supported.
I can not post the link to the SBSblog however type : sbs 2008 hyper-v role cannot install in Google and it should come up as the first result.
However running the second Windows as your Hyper-visor & BES app. and the SBS as a virtual machine should work and be supported, however this might cause some performance issues on the SBS side.
Overall in this scenario, for a productive environment, I would either install ESXi as recommended by Canuck or get some random whitebox with 1 or 2 GB RAM install W2k3 on it and run it as your BES with a SQL Backup of the database to a SBS 2008 fileshare. Just in case the HDD dies.
