Yes, although not those particular OSes, I have multi-booted up to 12
OSes on a single drive. I did this by installing a "generic" grub to
/dev/sda, formatting /dev/sda3 as vfat32, and putting a "generic" grub
folder structure on /dev/sda3. Each OS had its own grub folder
structure within its own root partition.
Here's a photo showing booting from an external drive with 8 OSes:

The menu.lst file is in the comments.
Although not in the above example, you could include a stanza to boot
Windows by chainloading its bootloader. For example, if Windows was
on the first partition:
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
