It is certainly possible, but it may be more work than it is worth.  I
have created a DVD that will allow users to install three different
versions of Red Hat, but I found that it was much easier to use the
native anaconda, and just create new kernel/initrd for each, and then
rebuild anaconda to point to the new locations.
