  Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Polychord and Upper Structure Voicings
The basis of a polychord voicing is to play two different chords at the same time, such as one in the left hand and one in the right on a piano.
The simplest style of polychord voicing is to play two triads; for instance, a C major triad in the left hand on a piano, and a D major triad in the right.
One way to construct polychords that avoid doubled notes is to replace the triad at the bottom with either the third and seventh, the root and seventh, or the root and third of a dominant chord.

  Poly Chords @ Ultimate Guitar Archive
A polychord is a "stacking", both literally and harmonically, oftwo "adjacent" chords within a key.
For example, in the key of G, one of the seven possible polychordsis C/D. By C/D I mean a chord in which a C triad is played on the6th, 5th, and 4th strings, and a D triad on the 3rd, 2nd, and 1ststrings.
Note that the 6-5-4 component of the C/D polychord is, of course, justa C triad in 2nd inversion (the 5th is a G, and it's in the bass, soit's 2nd inversion).

It is implied, however, that the two chords are constructed in different manners or are taken as a unit.

No, polychords, at least as the term is commonly used, are more complicated than slash chords.
A polychord is when two chords are played at the same time, not just a chord and a bass note.
The only real clue you have to determining whether you're dealing with polychords or 'slash' chords is the placement of suffixes (unless you read music, in which case you could tell from the score).

In essence, a polychord is nothing more than two or more chords put together.
The theory behind polychord is to be able to play two different chords at the same time.
When a polychord is notated as such; the bottom chord or note is played at the bottom of the voicing and the top chord is played at the top of the voicing.

 iBreatheMusic Forums - CHORDS: Extended vs Poly
Polychords, as I said, are chords from 2 different keys played together.
The two triads don't need to be from different keys to be a polychord; D major of C major is a common polychord, but they're both found in the key of G. Polychords can also be used as an effective way to voice extended chords to achieve the unique sound of the two distinct triads.
The two triads don't need to be from different keys to be a polychord; D major of C major is a common polychord, but they're both found in the key of G. While I may have been premature with an absolute statement saying they had to be from 2 differnt keys, this still sounds mistaken.

 Compose Music Forums - Challenge 1: First teeny challenge
The occassional polychord including a 7th chord is acceptable, but keep in mind that the more notes there are, the harder it is to control the harmony.
The idea is to find interesting ways to connect the various polychords, and to find the ones that are the most pleasing to each individual composer's ear.
Ex.3 shows that a polychord in the right inversion can have definite affinities with quartal harmony (however, if you stray too long into quartal harmony, you risk having trouble coming back to polychords without a jarring harmonic shift).

 TOM LIPPINCOTT ARTICLES
In actual practice, most "polychords" are simply a different way of looking at a fairly complex chord.
Guitarists often have a harder time quickly decifering these type of polychords for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that we can only play six notes at a time (provided we're playing a six string guitar).
The other use (and I suppose, technically more "correct") of polychords and chord over bass notes is the juxtaposition of two different tonalities against each other.
