This should be possible, but I'm not sure what the procedure is to make this work. I'd like to have a OS X partition, Vista partition and a XP partition, and boot between them.
How do I do this?

you like wasting HDD space dont you? lol.
You can do it I suppose. Just format the HDD with 3 partitions. 1 is HFS+ for OS X. THe other two are FAT32 for windows.

Lookup tri-booting though Google. You can't use Boot Camp for a tri-boot (not easily at least), the recommended solution is rEFIt.
I am coping with this issue for quite some time now and got to this guide:

I followed it but am either stupid or there need to be some changes. First of all the Vista Bootloader seems to sit on the 4th partition, selecting the third in rEFIt just fails. And there were some other parts that didn't go that smooth, but I have the three OSes running on one MacBook atm, so it helped me a lot in the end.
Anyway I wanted to participate in the article discussion but first had to register here and now I am lacking five posts, so maybe someone has some more insight.
Tnx!
