I think you'd be able to do this by installing the new distribution on a separate partition (hd?) and during the install, don't write the boot record to mbr (there are other options of where to write it, including floppy (which is probably a good idea) maybe /boot(?))
Then, once installed, add in the new partition to your existing lilo.conf with a different label pointing to wherever you put the new install's boot record. Haven't done this myself, these are very general and untested instructions, use at your own risk.
