If you're talking about /boot/loader, probably not. If you're talking
about boot0, probably so.

You're going to need a multi-OS boot system no matter what. Boot0
won't work very well here, as both will be labelled "FreeBSD", or
something similar. Personally, I use grub, and it boots both 5-current
and 4-STABLE just fine.
