Yes.

To run two Squids on the same machine the easiest way is to install two
Squids using different prefix, then configure their respective squid.conf
to use different ports for HTTP (and ICP and/or SNMP if enabled)

Alternatively you can use the same binary by specifying different
configuration files on the command line, but then you need to remember to
set different paths to everying in the squid.conf

  * pid_file_names
  * all kinds of log files
  * cache
  * etc..
