Yes, you just need to run them on separate ports and point them at different lib directories for their data.
Here’s a good reference: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mutiple-servers.html
(If you want to use this for testing, I suggest checking out MySQL Sandbox which is now replaced by dbdeployer)
