Virtual machine should run that fine, after setup it ain't to bad, and it's
free

Assuming your question is, "Is it possible to somehow run Windows 95 and
Windows NT 4.0 while in/utilizing Windows XP - on the same machine, at the
same time?"...

Yes - you can use what is called virtualization. A free virtualization
product that may fit the bill for what you seemingly want to do is
VirtualBox.
http://virtualbox.org/

You can install it and then create 'virtual machines' on your computer that
run inside the application - but are fully functional operating systems all
on their own.

Warning - you need some extra memory and extra drive space to do this
effectively.

Sure, if you get Virtual PC or VMWare, you can usually run what you like.

If you mean *on the same computer* as WinXP Home, in a dual/triple boot
setup, yes, but much depends on the order in which you install things - and
I would not bother. Virtual computing is fine for testing stuff, and who'd
want to run NT4 or 9x now for any other reason??

If you load the Virtual PC software, yes.
