Can you compile DX9 compatible programs with DX11 SDK?

Can you compile a program using the DirectX11 SDK that will run on a system with only the DirectX9 runtime? Assuming that you stick to only the functions that are present in the DirectX9 SDK or earlier, that is.

I'd like to generate a version of the executable that will run under XP, but I don't want to juggle multiple versions of the SDK (and probably multi-boot to avoid conflicts) if I can avoid it.

    Yes. Just make sure you're using the D3D9 API, and not mistakenly using the D3D11 API with FEATURE_LEVEL_9_X. If you stick to the 9 API only, you shouldn't have to worry about the extras in 11.
