You could do this, I think,  IF you want to install dual boot with
another partition and use something like partition magic.  That would
require creating the new partition, installing the dual boot option,
and then moving your existing Dos/Windows installation to the new
partition before doing the 95 upgrade.  Since you would then be
installing 95 on the partition w/o NT, you should be able to preserve
you NT install.  Of course, if you want to have NT and 95 on the same
partition, you're probably out of luck, in terms of being able to do
what you want without installing everything all over again.
