If you create two clients, TSM will treat them like two different machines,
and you'll double the amount of storage used.
Maybe you're OK with that...

What I'd try is setting up a cron job on sunday morning to run a script like
this (untested - off top of head here):

#!/bin/sh
# usage: chgincludes [ sunday | weekday ]
cd /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
cp inclexcl.$1 inclexcl
kill `ps -ef | fgrep dsmc sched | awk '{print $2}' `
nohup dsmc sched &

And in crontab
0 0 * * 0 /my/scripts-dir/chgincludes sunday
0 0 * * 1-6 /my/scripts-dir/chgincludes weekday

And of course you'd have to manually set up your two include-exclude files
and name them inclexcl.sunday and inclexcl.weekday.  And this assumes that
dsm.sys has a line in it like "inclexcl
/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/inclexcl"

You could do the same trick using client option sets on the server, and an
administrative schedule instead of crontab.
