Short answer is no.

Long answer is you can if you modify both the server and boot loader to use different ports. You would also need to use a separate database for each server to prevent accidental mixing of data.

Another option would be to run one server on a VM with the network adapter set to "bridged" mode instead of NAT and access it via its unique LAN IP for local play. You could put together a pretty minimal linux VM within a couple of hours that would run darkstar!
