Whether you can is not the proper question (some users find that they can coerce such coexistence). The real question is whether you should or not.

We strongly recommend against ever having two versions of Acrobat concurrently installed on a system (either MacOS or Windows) for any number of reasons including but not limited to “ownership” of the .PDF file suffix and integration of Acrobat components with other applications (such as Office) and system functions.

In my experience on the Mac the coexistence is not the problem. I need sometimes older versions to give support to others with older versions or to test a PDF against an older version. But it became less important in the last Years since Acrobat X.
