It's possible. Just make sure to install both into a different prefix.
E.g. if you build from source, install both into separate prefixes:
For 1.4.5:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/svn-1.4.5
For 1.6.9:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/svn-1.6.9
E.g. on my system I currently have two svn trunk builds, and one 1.5.x
build (the branch from which the next 1.5 release will be made, if ever)
and one svn-1.6.x build (the branch from which the next 1.6 release will
be made) installed in my home directory:
$ ls ~/svn/prefix
apr/ httpd/ serf/ svn-1.5.x/ svn-trunk/
bdb/ neon/ sqlite/ svn-1.6.x/ svn-trunk2/
$ which svn
/home/stsp/svn/prefix/svn-trunk/bin/svn
If you use binary packages, the content of binary packages will probably
overlap, e.g. both trying to install /usr/bin/svn. In this case you cannot
install both at the same time (unless there is a way to install an RPM into
a different directory than the root directory '/' -- I don't know if
that's possible).
