You can use multiple -histogram- statements. For example:
sysuse auto
twoway (histogram weight if fore == 0, density blcolor(gs12) ///
blwidth(medthick) bfcolor(gs15) legend(label(1 "Domestic"))) ///
(histogram weight if fore == 1, density blcolor(blue) blwidth(medthick) ///
bfcolor(none)legend(label(2 "Foreign")) )
