sharing vlan port with different vlan?

This depends on the switch you are using. Only the 2900XL and the 3500XL can have 'multi-vlan' ports, all other Cisco switches use VLAN Trunking to achieve this.
This is a pretty pointless technology in my opinion anyway as your PC will only be in one subnet so will struggle to talk to devices in another subnet just because it has a multi-vlan port anyway. The way to go is layer-3 switching (routing), so that to get between VLAN's your switches route the packets.
