At least the pTeX that is installed as part of PJE has an
entirely different directory structure than that of English
TeX.  Therefore, you can install both on your system.  I have
that set-up in Slackware.  I have to be careful how you call
TeX though.  That is pTeX will install a symbolic link called
latex.  If that is in your path before the English Latex, then
the Japanese version will be called.  I have my path set-up
such that the English version is called with latex and a japanese
version is called with jlatex.  There are things that I am not
all that familiar with latex that may be screwed because of this
set-up, but until now it has not caused me any problems.
