Yes you can do that, but there are a few complications. Fedora by
default labels the partitions in a simple way (LABEL=/, LABEL=/home) and
mounts these by label. If you have two distros installed you'll need to
have them labeled so as not to conflict, and that means some manual
editing of fstab and labeling the filesystems.
The only alternative I'm aware of for that is hiding partitions from
grub, although I'm not sure if that fully fixes the problem once the
kernel takes over and anything other than the root is mounted. If you
had a common /home and only two separate / partitions which contained
the entire install that might work.
I don't think Grub has a lot to do with it.
Conflicting names (partitions and volume groups is a problem).
