There is a attribute called "jvm" for the java-task:

<java jvm="PATH_TO_YOUR_VM" fork="true"...>
...
</java>

Alternatively, if you are in Windows, you could create 2 batch files: one that sets JAVA_HOME to 1.3 followed by your call to ant, a second one that sets JAVA_HOME to 1.4 followed by your call to ant. ex:

startAnt1.3.bat:

SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Java1.3\etc.
ant myTarget

startAnd1.4.bat:

SET JAVA_HOME=C:\Java1.4\etc.
ant myTarget
