Sure, just run them with different PGDATA directories and different

Certainly: give them separate install directories, data directories,
and port numbers, and away you go.

You might have to install one or the other from source rather than use
RPMs, if your RPMs want to install both versions in the same place.

If you need to do some things with the old client, and then need to
compare what will happen in the new client, you can write a shell
script which will set the environment up correctly for you, and then
call the desired client program.

Yes, it's possible, but only one system can listen on the dafault port
on rely on the default incuded library path. The other installation
must run run on a different post an with the LD_LIBRARAY_PATH set to the
dynamic library path

Sure, just have different install directories and ports they run on.
