Yes this is possible. I tried to get it to work with Gentoo a while ago but I only got it partially working. I still think it's possible with the right hardware though. Here are a couple of guides to get you started:

Multiple local XFree users under Linux
XFree Local Multi-User HOWTO (This link is in the Gentoo Documentation at the bottom of the X-server setup page)

Those documents are a little old and you might need to experiment a bit, but I think that it should work.
