The easiest way is to just rip out the javascript bit: use two plain columns of radio buttons, as UseMod does, without worrying too much. It's impossible to select more than two, and we can handle zero or one relatively gracefully with a last-version diff or error message.
By way of summarising my rather verbose post: it's even easier than you imply, since all that needs doing is removal of the display-related JavaScript - the rest will carry on working fine. There's even HTML attributes to tell the browser which ones should start checked, so unless someone *really* tried they couldn't select less than two anyway. The only error condition is selecting the same one twice, and that doesn't actually cause the software any pain, it just reports that there aren't any differences!
