Unless you uninstall the official package with the purge option, that't
certainly possible. It's the same as a regular update in this regard.

Actually, you don't even need separate directories (unless the db
structure changes - which it hasn't for a long time). Preferences also
stay the same (I'm not quite sure how LMS handles unknown prefs (e.g.
those that exist in 7.8 and don't in 7.7), but I guess the only risk
would be that they get lost)
My setup is based on symlinks:
Code:
--------------------
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 May 14 19:10 lms -> logitechmediaserver-7.7.8-git
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Apr 26 2012
logitechmediaserver-7.7.2-33893-noCPAN
drwxr-xr-x 13 user user 4096 Sep 11 23:34 logitechmediaserver-7.7.8-git
--------------------
and the init script uses /opt/lms as the path, so switching to another
version is done by pointing the symlink to this version
