Yes it is possible, and I think it is a good idea to use the most recent version to do so.

I did it once, on a pretty obscur O/S (HP MPE/iX), and if I remind correctly what I did, the trick was to specify for each SID_DESC the correct ORACLE_HOME and PROGRAM values.

Also, you can define two different listeners in the same listener.ora file, one for 8i and one for 8.0.5. This would allow you to start/stop the listening services of both instances independently.
