You certainly can, there is no limit to the number of verticals you can install on one computer. Both (all) applications must be separately licensed and activated. Just do a normal installation and activation and all will be well. You become a separate desktop icon for each application, as you do when you have a vanilla AutoCAD installed from your vertical.

 

On some verticals you must simultaneously install Express Tools because it's not possible to install it afterwards as you can in vanilla AutoCAD. I don't know if this applies to all verticals and versions, but it certainly does to AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 and 2013.
