It is. Assuming that you have the devel packages for both Postgres 
versions installed (headers and libraries).

I suggest installing the same Slony version from sources for both 
database version, so you can also replicate between the two. You would 
configure and "make install" two times. The configure script has an 
option to explicitly specify the directory of the pg_config utility to 
use. The sequence would then look like this:

configure --with-pgconfigdir=/path/to/bin/directory/of/pg_config-8.4
make all install clean
configure --with-pgconfigdir=/path/to/bin/directory/of/pg_config-9.0
make all install clean
