Yes, it is quite possible. You can use the --sysconfdir configure
option at build to point to a different directory for sudoers.
Alternately, you can just edit plugins/sudoers/Makefile and change
sudoersdir (or the value of _PATH_SUDOERS).
One thing to be aware of is that the two versions of sudo will share
the timestamp directory unless you set it to different values at
configure time.
