Yes, as long as the Vista install disk is a full Retail one, not an upgrade.
You have a choice. If you want to dual-boot you can use Boot Camp, which is
built into Leopard. Boot Camp is free. If you want to boot into OS X and be
able to run Windows from within OS X, you will need to do virtual computing
with either Parallels or VMware Fusion, neither of which is free.

For more information about using Boot Camp, how much space to allocate,
etc., you should post in Apple's Boot Camp forum. For more information
about using Parallels or VMware Fusion, look on those companies' websites.
