Yes. Look at packages like Python, automake, the kenrel and so on. They
are installed from versioned packages like python2.6 and install
binaries like /usr/bin/python2.6.

Depending on your use case you may want to install a compatibility
symlink to the default version or you may consider using the
alternatives system (update-alternatives(8)).
