It's possible to compile them both on the same system, but you'll need a 
pretty good understanding of the tool chain to get it to work.

However (and far more importantly), once you run the SVN version, your 
database will be permanently upgraded to the SVN version, and you will 
/not/ be able to run 0.19-fixes again (unless you restore a backup that 
you made before the upgrade).

My recommendation is to stick with 0.19-fixes and wait patiently for 
0.20 (with MythArchive) to be released by your packager and upgrade 
then.  It shouldn't be too long before 0.20 is released.
