Yes, I've been doing so for probably the last 10 years. I have
7 different FPC versions installed on my system - all working together.
The trick is to have paths as follows in you ~/.fpc.cfg file:
=====================
# searchpath for units and other system dependent things
-Fu/data/devel/fpc-$fpcversion/$fpctarget/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget
-Fu/data/devel/fpc-$fpcversion/$fpctarget/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/*
-Fu/data/devel/fpc-$fpcversion/$fpctarget/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/rtl
# searchpath for fppkg user-specific packages
-Fu~/.fppkg/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$FPCTARGET/*
# searchpath for libraries
-Fl/data/devel/fpc-$fpcversion/$fpctarget/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget
-Fl/lib;/usr/lib;/usr/local/lib
# Path to fpc utility applications like fpcres
-FD/data/devel/fpc-$fpcversion/$fpctarget/bin/
=====================
I'm happy to send you a full copy of my ~/.fpc.cfg file if that will help.
And as you can see from my paths above, all my FPC version are all installed
under the /data/devel/* path and looks like this:
=====================
/data/devel/fpc-2.6.4
├── src/
├── x86_64-freebsd/
└── x86_64-linux/
/data/devel/fpc-3.0.0
├── go.sh*
├── src/
├── x86_64-freebsd/
└── x86_64-linux/

/data/devel/fpc-3.3.1
├── go-arduino.sh*
├── go-freebsd.sh*

└── x86_64-linux/
=====================
The "go.sh" files you see are to compile the desired FPC version with the
previous stable FPC version, and install it into the correct location.
=============[ example go.sh ]===============
#!/bin/sh
TARGET_VER=3.2.0
TARGET=x86_64-linux
COMPILER=/data/devel/fpc-3.0.4/$TARGET/bin/ppcx64
cd src
make clean
make all FPC=$COMPILER OPT="-Fl/usr/local/lib"
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/data/devel/fpc-$TARGET_VER/$TARGET
FPC=/data/devel/fpc-$TARGET_VER/src/compiler/ppcx64
=============================================
I use this same setup in my Windows VMs too, when I need to support multiple
FPC versions.

Graeme
