Read both states' forms instructions and make sure they permit the presentation you want. Looks like for both NJ and PA, you have to file separate returns in order to accomplish what you'd like to do. So you'd have one ProConnect client for the federal MFJ, then two MFS returns for the state returns.
It also looks like both states allow you to elect to file jointly, as if you'd both been resident for the entire year. I don't know how that interacts with reciprocity, though.
