Yes, it is possible to specify installation into a partition rather than 
the MBR.  However, this is NOT recommended with grub2 because there 
"may" not be sufficient space for what grub2 wants to put there and 
things may get screwed up.

My solution is to have multiboot is to have one grub2 system installed 
into the MBR and then boot the other systems from there. This can be 
done either using osprobe (which may have stopped working in F20) or 
creating you own little scripts in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
