Out of the box, no, they would conflict since both platforms will end up trying to save scores being submitted. With the 2.0.0 v3A rewrite we went through and tried making sure that all of the v3A assets (templates, phrases, files, etc.) were uniquely prefixed. Some may have been missed but to date we have not gotten any feedback that are any remaining asset conflicts. So the short answer is... no known conflicts of assets but there are conflicts when trying to save scores because IPB can use IPB & v3A games and v3A can use v3A & IPB games (and Mochi games as well).

However it shouldn't be that hard to do something where both are installed and IPB is only used for one type of game (eg: IPB games) and v3A is used for other types of games (eg: v3A formatted games and Mochi games). It would be matter of renaming IPB's 'index.php' to something else, updating the IPB templates to point to the new name, turning off any IPB related plugins that are being used for v3A compatibility, use IPB for only IPB formatted games, installing v3A as normal, turn off v3A's plugins for IPB compatibility, and then use v3A only for v3A formatted games & Mochi games.

It is not something that I personally have done but I know others have. If you can reach him, "Mark.B" in the vB support forums might be able to give some pointers since he is doing this on his vB3 site. Check http://www.bowlandcentral.com/ and in the "Arcades" drop-down list the "Yellow Arcade" is v3 Arcade and the "Blue Arcade" is IPB.
