Absolutely. Aside from the compiled Fox not working at all on my
system right now, and the binary one having problems with my (perhaps
outdated) Flash plug-in, I had, for the longest time, firefox,
firefox-bin, mozilla and mozilla-bin running alongside without any
problems.
Note that it is not possible to run them at the same time, though: you
must completely exit one to be able to launch the other, because
otherwise the window detection will grab existing windows. In
addition, they share profiles, so you'd get a profile reuse warning if
you managed to start them both.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.
