I need to be able to test Firefox 4 with a web application product, but I also need to keep Firefox 3.6.x so I can test that version as well against the product. Is there a conflict of having both installedon the same Windows XP system?

They would be installed in different directories.

You can do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder.

Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.
