Is it possible to install a side-by-side DragonFlyBSD with FreeBSD 5?

Hi, Gang

I'm planning to install a DragonFlyBSD on my own test box, which
already have FreeBSD 5-CURRENT installed on it.

I hope I can have a side-by-side installation of DragonFlyBSD
from source code, because I have reserved half of the hard disk
for DragonFlyBSD and a running FreeBSD 5-CURRENT copy.

Here is a FreeBSD from scratch documentation:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/fbsd-from-scratch/article.html

I'm not sure whether I can employ a similiar way to install a side-by-side
DragonFly on my computer after doing fdisk and bsdlabel under 5-CURRENT?
If memory serves me right, 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT have different ufs1 formats?

Thanks in advance!
