If you really need to do this, then, in general, to load packages from specific locations:

import imp
pandas13 = imp.load_module("pandas13",
                           *imp.find_module("pandas", ["/path/to/pandas13/parent/"]))
pandas14 = imp.load_module("pandas14",
                           *imp.find_module("pandas", ["/path/to/pandas14/parent/"]))

i.e. pandas 0.13 will be in /path/to/pandas13/parent/pandas/

Then any successive call to import pandas14 will return pandas14, and import pandas13 will return pandas13. If this doesn't work, it will be because pandas doesn't use relative namespacing (I think it does), in which case you would need to change all the imports in the package to be relative.

There is no way to do this using absolute in-package imports.

Although, really, I can't imagine why you'd need to do this.
