Not really, because same version of any package can't exist multiple 
times in one system. The previous incarnation is unmerged after the new 
is merged.

One solution I could think is to add /lib/modules to CONFIG_PROTECT in 
ones make.conf. This prevents the removal of the module files when the 
previous incarnation is uninstalled.
