Is it possible, to have alarms come in and be acknowledge by one vision client, but remain unacknowledged to other vision clients.

Perhaps the use of multiple Journals?

No. In Ignition, an alarm is a global object that can be in the four derived states from two conditions:  
Active or not active  
Acknowledged or not acknowledged

If you want to do some per-user notification/acknowledgement system, you'll have to implement it yourself.
