I am running 1 AD Forest, with one tree that has a netbios name of
HEADQUARTERS and a FQDN of HEADQUARTERS.COMPANYABC.COM.

My question is: I need to add an additional tree for the domain of
HEADQUARTERS.COMAPNYXYZ.COM, will there be a problem if the netbios name for
this tree is also HEADQUARTERS?
 
Assuming I understand what you are describing,..I could misunderstand,..if
it is a single Forest/single Tree, then the Netbios Name of the Domain is
COMPANYABC.

The Netbios Name of the individual Tree would be HEADQUARTERS

If you add another Tree it would be:

NEWTREE.COMPANYABC.COM

The name *.COMPANYABC.COM would never change unless you create an entirely
new Forest and used a typical Trust between them so they could work
together.

In ours I have no "Tree". It simply shows the [machine].[domain].[top-level
domain]
ex. "proxyserver.company.com"
