Yes, it's easy if you boot NetBSD from the first (or only) harddisk:

   http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/faq.html#nt_boot

Just do not use the nbsd0.bb (etc.) binaries offered there (they
are for older NetBSD versions), but create your own by the dd command
line given there.

Worked fine for me. I'm not sure I realy tried it with XP too, but I think
it should work the same - if not, someone please let us know so we can
fix that FAQ entry.

On the other hand, the NetBSD boot selector works fine for me with XP.
