Yes, installing 2008 and 2005 side-by-side is supported. Aaron Stebner mentions that here: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/06/22/3464822.aspx. I believe more detail about it is in the installation notes; but I can't find them online separately.
If you're thinking about installing the beta, as with any beta there are some issues which are detailed here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/d/1/dd18043a-fe86-4f57-ac22- 791b30e6f04b/VSReadme.htm I've been using 2005/2008 side-by-side without issue (I haven't uninstalled 2008, so I haven't encountered the issues listed in the readme linked above).
