Yes this is possible by using the cheatcode from=
When you get to the boot screen hit 'tab'and enter from=/mnt/sdxY/porteus
Obviously substitute x and Y for the drive where porteus is stored. Point it to the version that you want to boot. Once you have it working you can add a new entry in porteus.cfg (inside boot folder) to add a menu entry for each version.
