You actually can.  You just need to config the ports to different 
numbers.  One can run more than one instance of the same tomcat5 version 
BTW, it was added in one of the latest revisions.

The installation of parallel versions of tomcat exists for several years 
already, that is why they are called tomcat3, tomcat4, tomcat5 and 
tomcat6 instead of just tomcat.  It happens that we started shipping a 
tomcat5 in Fedora, so we never noticed that.

Cheers,
Fernando
