Yes, just make sure you give each it's own user account and run it on a
different port (typically default on 5432, next on 5433 etc).
They will of course all compete for resources on the machine, but
otherwise I don't see why Windows should be different from *nix.

Lots of people run multiple different versions on the various
Linux/BSD/Mac OS-X boxes they have, but there's no reason why they
couldn't be the same version.
