On Linux you have the problem that the distributed packages all want to run from /usr, so there can only be one, but you can build your own to run from /opt or elsewhere.
On Windows, when you install 2.8 over 2.6, the 2.8 installer upgrades the 2.6 profile to 2.8, but if you have 2.8 and install 2.6, they will coexist. And if you install two 2.8.x version you can have them use different profiles by setting the GIMP_DATA_DIR for at least one of them.
