I've worked at places that have done this. Use virtual directories for the separate dot net versions, and you will need each one to be running a separate application pool set to the appropriate version. We actually had classic/1.1/2.0/3.5 all running on the same web site (note I wouldn't advise this setup personally).

And Hyperlink between them? You can upgrade the old pages as time allows, and as time allows add new functionality the 3.5 application?
