my subdomain is pointing on this IP adress.

Service Desk is an application for Jira.  Go to Admin -> Manage Applications to install it.

The setup of your urls is best done with a proxy server.

just to clarify it. I want do it like this.

Jira.mycompany.com -> IP_FROM_MACHINE_1

Conf.mycompany.com -> IP_FROM_MACHINE_2

How can i add Service Desk to Jira? For me it looks like a seperate thing.

Thanks in Advance!

Most of us use proxies to do this.  A proxy can take the existing installations pretty much as you already have them (ok, you have to edit the server.xml to tell the Tomcat it is behind a proxy) and serve them up on different urls.  You can use the same ports on different installs, and have the proxy drop the ports completely.

Additional question - why Service Desk separately to Jira?  To get the best integration, you usually take an existing Jira Core or Jira Software and add Service Desk to it.
