There shouldn't be any problems at all, at least I don't have any.
Do make install on both, and you'll end up with a
/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.15 directory and a
/usr/local/lib/xemacs-20.2-b<whatever beta> directory.
(The etc directories of each are in those dirs)

In .emacs and /usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp/site-start.el etc. you 
can do different things for different versions.  Look in etc/sample.emacs
for hints about how to do it.

I don't know about any problems with etags though (only one copy will live
in /usr/local/bin/, but should that be a problem?)

Other than that you'll have to explicitly specify xemacs-19.15 instead
of xemacs (which is a link to one or the other, depending on the sequence
in which you installed them).
