As others have said, Samtec make connectors which can do this. Just put
a male connector on one side of each board, and the corresponding female
connector on the other side. E.g SFM on the top and TFM on the bottom

Obviously, it will easier with surface mount connectors, since the
through hole parts cannot be placed directly opposite each other.
