If an new internal drive is not an option, partition and format an external USB and/or Firewire drive. Make one partition for each of your target OSes and install them, one per partition. Reboot and hold down the Option key. Select the desired startup partition. Enjoy.
Basically, any modern Mac can boot from either USB or Firewire. The only limitation being that drive access times may be a bit sluggish, but they are generally acceptable.
