Yes, but the installer will only let you put one instance on the machine.
But you can just copy the whole directory of files to a different directory,
and run "pg_ctl register" with a different name there to get a separate
service.
(That is, unless you use different versions. You can put both 8.0 and 8.1 on
the same machine with the installer.)
(Note! This is much safer in 8.1 than in 8.0, because 8.0 has some shared
files in SYSTEM32 that might cause issues if you run multiple different
versions on the same machine)
