Yes and no. You can both installed, but you will 
have to choose which one to use. This is a
configurable
thing, that you can change.

XFree86 is the original opensource implementation of
X11 .
Xorg is a splinter group from XFree86. They have an
internal
dispute in philosophy and forked off a new X11. They
aren't identical. Xorg is susposedly lighter-weight
and faster. I've
not played with it, because of the VT switching
problems I've
had.
