Severino,

you can used fdisk as usual. Make a partition for DragonFly, then boot from 
the DragonFly CD. There's an option to use a part of a harddisk for the 
installation. DFLY makes his slices then in the selected partition.

I use grub here as a boot manager, tri-booting Linux, GNU/Hurd and DFly 
without problems (that means, I didn't let the DFly installation set up its 
own boot manager).
