Have a new copy of XP Home Edition Upgrade (from Me). Would like to do a
clean install, but can I with an upgrade rather than the full system package?
I haven't opened the package yet, in case the answer is no.

Thanks for your time!

Yes, you can do a clean install as long as you have a valid WinMe or
Win98 CD. XP will ask for it during the install.
 
If you select "clean install" and then choose a different partition than the
one that contains WindowsMe, the setup will create a "dual boot" situation
and never ask for the original CDs. You will end up with both operating
systems on your computer. If you wanted to clean install over "ME" then
setup would probably ask for the original install CDs.
