Unless you are willing to do a reinstall of the OS, have a Time machine backup or a bootable clone the answer is no.

This has been answered many times on this forum already.
Yes you can, by doing an archive and install.

Yes it is:
I had the same issue as you, I was using Safari 3.2.3 for Leopard and it was fine. I opted to try the finished Safari 4 but I found that you just cannot drag it and uninstall it. You need to do the following:
1. Download Pacifist and open the Safari 3.2.3.dmg
2. Look in the Resources tab and look for a file called Payload
3. Extract "Payload" to your desktop and unzip it, it won't show up as zip but you should be able to unzip it. If not, press Enter and add .zip to it and save it with the .zip extension.
4. After unzipping the "Payload" folder you'll need to replace the files in the folders in the exact area on your system. So you navigate to one of the folders and only erase what is in the "Payload" and replace the "Payload" version of that file to where you erased it from, and so on until all your "Payload" files have been put into the system to their respective places.
5. Repair you disk permissions and reboot your machine.
6. Run Safari 3.2.3 installer and it should run without having to ask you where it will be installed.
7. After the installer finishes, you'll need to reboot.
8. Enjoy, there's nothing wrong with 4 but I don't think it's quite ready yet. For me it seems to be crashing from page to page. It looks like some sort of memory problem. But 3.2.3 is working fine and has been

And now you are running Safari 3 with the Safari 4 webkit engine.

Nope, cause you'll have to replace the Webkit frameworks as well.

You are on Windows.
This is the Safari for Mac forum.
The OP is asking about Safari on his Mac.
Your offer of help is appreciated but your information may be misleading and irrelevant.
