if you're going to compile from source, yes. if you're going to use a prebuilt package, it'll be overwritten.
make sure that if you're going to test the pvr version, you do that as a different user than you normally use xbmc with OR make a backup of the ~/.xbmc/userdata/Database directory because the addon database is not compatible.

Thanks for the help. Haven't used Linux properly for years and have forgotten everything I used to do so will be fun compiling the PVR version myself.
Does somethig need to be change in the source when compiling so it doesn't overwrite XBMC?

specify a new install prefix
./configure --prefix=/opt/dvr
or what ever you want.

Ok, thanks for that. I will have a try and probably get totally confused and mess everything up

An easier way is to just run each build in portable mode with -p
