Yes it's possible with PHP-FPM, but not out of the box, as far as I know. You will have to do some compiling from source, and then some fancy Apache configuration. I can point you to an internet resource to get you started, but be aware this is not a task for the inexperienced.

The basic steps to compile PHP-FPM and Apache on CentOs are described in the first part of this tutorial:

You can install a second PHP-FPM version the same way you installed the first, and then configure which PHP pool you want to use in your Apache config or .htaccess files.
