Yes. The first DOS partition on your C drive is available as drive D:. You can
set up your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, etc. to actually remap this to C:
so that applications that need to be on C: can be. Note that VP/ix will not
recognize the DOS extended partitions (D:, etc.)

You can also install DOS apps on the XENIX fs through use of a mapping command
that works like the DOS SUBST command, allowing any given path to be mapped to a
drive letter.
