Certainly.  You'll have to partition the drive into
at least two partitions though - use one for RedHat
and the other for Mandrake.  LILO can easily be set
up to prompt you for which to execute on startup.

Alternatively, you could use VMware to run them
both at the same time.

I'm suprised that you'd want to though.  RedHat and
Mandrake are probably the two most similar distributions
out there.  Mandrake started off with the controversial
(although perfectly legal) approach of simply renaming
the RedHat distribution "Mandrake" and selling it at a
lower price.  I think they are doing a little more than
that these days - but their RedHat roots still show.
