The short answer is, "no". That's also the long answer.

No, no two applications with the same package name can exist in any device. The package name identifies your application, and is one of the things that Can Never Change:

Naturally, you can have different applications with "sibling" package names, so they share a common root. For instance, you could have one application with the package name com.example.foo and another application with the package name com.example.bar.
