Sure, just as you could worship both the Egyptian Gods and the Japanese kamiand Buddhas, but when your father dies, do you have them mummified and buried in a pyramid with everything he will need for his continuing existence in the afterlife or have him cremated to free his spirit to take it's place in the cycle of reincarnation?
The Praxian tradition already recognises some of the Storm Tribe deities - Sword Man (Humakt) and Little Brother (Orlanth).
I'm not sure how the Pol-Joni combine the worship of Praxian spirits and Orlanthi Gods, but one possibility is the result of a HeroQuest performed by Derik Pol-Joni and reinforced by his followers that has (Some of) the Praxian Great Spirits accepted into the Storm Tribe (whether as Spirits like Kolat, or misapplied worship as deities)
This is, I think how most Gloranthan cultures go about adding "foreign" deities into their pantheons - not by starting a whole new "Worship" relationship, but by finding a way that the deity/spirit/saint/whatever fits into their existing system of beliefs (cf the Lunar attempt to marry Pavis to the Red Goddess to join bring the city into the Lunar Way)
The other way, of course is to recognise a "foreign" god as a varient of one of your own (The Lunar Identification of Ernalda with 'Shew Who Waits' in Tarsh - but this starts skirting close to God-Learner practices so may be less common in "modern" Glorantha than it was
