Yes
You can install without a bootloader, you just need some free space on the
HDD

Oh, so I can simply do an install *without* the bootloader at all (which
would leave [k]ubuntu temporarily nonbootable, but present in its bright,
shiny new partitions, and could simply then make it bootable by later
booting into Mandriva (where I can at least get around and edit configs,
when necessary), make the changes, and then reboot and find all 3 OS'es
available for boot options?

If so, I'm encouraged.
