can you dual boot those without problems after all?

It's not a problem dual booting xp an nix as long as you install your boot loader after XP, (usually means installing xp first). When you install XP first you need to make sure that whatever unix flavor you are installing supports being installed after the first 1024 sectors of the hard disk. This used to be a huge problem, but I think most linux distros have fixed it and I dont think it was ever an issue for BSD. The only other problem that exists is if you partition your xp disk as NTFS and try to let your unix file system read AND write from/to it. If you do this then you will destroy your NTFS partition. If you just make sure that your unix OS is set to just read from your NTFS part or just use Fat32 you should be A-OK!
