One multi-boot tip I have with grub is to install each distro's grup config to the partition itself, rather than the MBR. Then have one distro in charge of the MBR. Set up grub entries to chainload the other grubs on the partitions. This is what I do to dual-boot solaris and fedora. The reason I do this is so that respective kernel upgrades can add entries to their respective grub.conf files. If you boot all distros from the same grub you'll have to always remember to change the one grub.conf file.
