I think so.

They have the same path / filename, so it won't be a problem. I'd
suggest to ship the gallium version in mesa rather than the old
classic in amber. I enabled it in my PPA (
https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers/ ) and
got positive feedback.
Eventually the amber version could be compiled and shipped renamed, so
the packages won't conflicts and the user could change the driver
setting MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE variable.
There is also the VULKAN_DRIVERS virtio-experimental , I don't know
however if it's ready for use (archlinux ships it
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=265471 ).
