Is it possible to install the PVR version of XBMC alongside the standard to try it out?

if you're going to compile from source, yes. if you're going to use a prebuilt package, it'll be overwritten.
make sure that if you're going to test the pvr version, you do that as a different user than you normally use xbmc with OR make a backup of the ~/.xbmc/userdata/Database directory because the addon database is not compatible.

Found a problem with PVR? Report it on Trac, under "PVR - core components". Please attach the full debug log.
If you like my work, please consider donating to me and/or Team XBMC.

Thanks for the help. Haven't used Linux properly for years and have forgotten everything I used to do so will be fun compiling the PVR version myself.
Does somethig need to be change in the source when compiling so it doesn't overwrite XBMC?

An easier way is to just run each build in portable mode with -p
