The installer in FC3 should allow you to use the free space from your existing partition to create new Linux partitions.

This is something that I personally wouldn't attempt unless I had a backup, even then I don't like 3rd trusting repartitioning utilities on my systems. I start from scratch on all computers I maintain/build.
