Yes, you will run into problems that way. Lilo can only boot kernels in the
first 1024 cylinders of a drive. (This is the BIOS's fault, not Lilo's.) On
most IDE drives, that's around 500MB. I usually set up workstations like
this:
(swapspace) ~ 128MB
/boot ~ 10MB
/ the rest
It's possible that you might get away with sharing /boot between all your
distros, but the installers probably would freak out about that. So you're
probably going to have to create multiple small /boot partitions....
