Yes, it should be possible.
Ok, I haven't tried this, but in theory this should work (at least works for 
Gentoo Linux and Windows XP on NTFS).

For example, if you have following partitioning scheme:

/dev/hda1       Linux root
/dev/hda2       Linux swap
/dev/hda3       FreeDOS (fat)

Use following grub.conf:

title=Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/my_kernel_filename 

title=FreeDOS
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
