I might not have said it in that post, but I have installed versions up to
7.1.x on a RaQ4.  I just haven't gotten around to trying 7.2.x yet.  As long
as the port is different than the current install's and the socket file,
binary files, etc. are installed in a different location you shouldn't have
any problems.

Sounds like it's make install time then.

Nope.  Of course, given your *nix experience you know it's a good idea to
backup every relevant file before doing the make install step.
