Yes, but with a twist Those versions will be in the same SLOT so portage will not install both. You can install just one or both manually (i.e. the normal process as described on Sun's site, not using portage) and the jvm will work fine like it does everywhere else. However, you may run into issues with java-config and apps not detecting 1.5.0.12 as the gentoo-specific symlinks are not rpesent. Try it and see. You won't break anything. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
