Yes, but with a twist
Those versions will be in the same SLOT so portage will not install both. You
can install just one or both manually (i.e. the normal process as described on
Sun's site, not using portage) and the jvm will work fine like it does
everywhere else.
However, you may run into issues with java-config and apps not detecting
1.5.0.12 as the gentoo-specific symlinks are not rpesent.
Try it and see. You won't break anything.
