I had a look at the ebuild, it doesn't appear to be slotted.  So, it is 
most likely not possible to have both at the same time.  The relavant 
portion:

LICENSE="|| ( Artistic GPL-1 GPL-2 GPL-3 )"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~m68k ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 
~sh ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd"

All the ebuilds I looked at had the SLOT="0" which means no slots.

If I am wrong, someone post and correct me.
