Sure you can:

$ locate versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice3.4/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice3.4/ure/bin/versionrc
/usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/ure/bin/versionrc

I have the LO versions of 3.3 and 3.4 installed in /opt, and the
standard Ubuntu'ized version installed in /usr. You just can't run them
at the same time. That last bit is interesting as on my maverick system
I can run multiple versions of OOo as well as a single LO all at the
same time. On maverick I have:

$ locate versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice3.4/program/versionrc
/opt/libreoffice3.4/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/basis3.4/program/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev/ure/bin/versionrc
/opt/ooo-dev3/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/versionrc
/usr/lib/ure/bin/versionrc
