Yes it is. I'm running Oracle 7.3.3 and Oracle 8.0.5 on the same server box and access both databases from the same client. I can access both databases using SQLPlus 3 and SQLPlus 8.

I believe the rule is SQLPlus 3 uses SQLNET and SQLPlus 8 uses NET8 so you will need to add the same entry to both tnsnames files and run listeners for both databases in NET8 and SQLNET.
