Prior to the filming of Inherit the Wind, both Tracy and March won Two Best Acting Oscars each.
I can't find another movie where two separate actors, who have both won two leading actor Oscars, have starred alongside one another...
Is this the only film where this happens?
No, it might be the first but Pacino and De Niro starred in Heat together, Brando and Nicholson were in The Missouri Breaks together, and I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting.

Neither of those count. Pacino has only won a single Best Actor Oscar. Nicholson won his second after appearing in "The Missouri Breaks".
shareMy mistake. In my haste I didn't see the "two" in the original post.

no nicholson does not, he won his second oscar after missouri breaks. the op states that PRIOR to inherit the wind both tracy and march won their two best actors in a leading role awards each.
shareIt is true that this film is the only film to star two actor who had each won 2 Best actor in a Leading Role Oscars BEFORE shooting began. The following men each have two best actor Oscars: Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, Gary Cooper, Marlon Brando, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, and Daniel Day-Lewis.

"Wag the Dog" had Robert de Niro and Dustin Hoffman as the two male leads.
De Niro won Oscars for "The Godfather Part II" (1975) and "Raging Bull" (1981)
Hoffman won Oscars for "Kramer -v- Kramer" (1980) and "Rainman" (1989).
Just thought of this now:
Russel Crowe - Won best actor for Gladiator (2000).
Denzel Washington - Won best actor for Training Day (2001).
Both Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington starred in American Gangster (2007).
just for the record...
deniro won supporting for godfather II, not leading.
and crowe and washington have won one leading actor each, neither have won 2.
so it still stands, this is the only movie to star two actors that have both won two leading actor awards prior to filming.
exactly .some people should try reading your original posting
