Yes, there are many utilities to do this (other netters have 
already answered this part), but beware........

A switch to Sys 7 causes your HD Desktop to be automatically
rebuilt.  Apple recommends that when you switch back to Sys 6,
you must/should rebuild your desktop manually.  A bit of a 
pain.

Actually, we have a system set up with Sys 7 on one disk and Sys 6
on another.  The users can then boot from whichever they like.  I
have seen no problems and have NOT been rebuilding the desktop 
between cycles.
