If the API is the same you might be able to have it depend on either,
or do something where the default behaviour is to use the GPL one
but be able to use the non-GPL one.
The problem with that approach is that someone has to maintain the
GPLed version for at least some bug fixes. I don't know how big a job
that is, but it might be significant.
