Of course you can.
You can even run them at the same time.
This is the trick.
PHP 4.X
Install Apache 1.3.X or 2.0.X from source in:
/usr/local/apache
Install PHP 4.x as a dynamic module of this apache (apxs or apxs2)
Configure this apache to listen on port 80 (default)
PHP 5.X
Install Apache 1.3.X or 2.0.X from source in:
/usr/local/apache5 (or any other diferent from above)
Install PHP 5.x as a dynamic module of this apache (apxs or apxs2)
Configure this apache to listen on port 8080 (diferent from above)
You can have both virtualhost point to the same path.
/virtualhost/yourdomain/www/
You can call it from your browser specifying the port
localhost (same as: localhost:80)
localhost:8080
