Do I need to configure a separate instance of sipXbridge if my provider sends inbound calls from a different IP than the one to which I send outbound calls?

Probably, yes...

In general sipxbridge will allow inbound calls from any IP. However,
it will not be able to identify the associated ITSP account unless you
instruct it as to where to expect inbound signaling from. The
implications of this are that when transfers occur, appropriate
rewrite rules will not be applied (consider that some ITSPs want you
to use private addresses in your signaling ). Some compromises and
assumptions were made in order to avoid excessive numbers
configuration settings:

i.e. If your ITSP allows registration then the ITSP registrar address
is also assumed to be the address from which inbound calls emanate.
Thus use a different address for your ITSP registrar address than the
ITSP proxy address.

Thanks - in this case it's a carrier account that uses IP-based authorization so there is no registration.

How would I associate the source IP with the gateway instance? The only place I see fields which *might* be relevant is under Advanced Settings in ITSP Account.

Or should I configure another gateway using the inbound IP and just not route outbound calls to it?

Setup an unmanaged gateway so sipXbridge knows to allow those calls.
