The normal protocol is to fly the national flag at the gaff, and the house flag at the mainmast truck. Here is a photo of the Preussen: http://www.caphorniers.cl/preussen/preussen03_b.gif that shows this arrangement.

...And others at other points of hoist depending on the circumstances--a courtesy ensign when sailing on foreign waters would be at the fore, for example.

Here is another photo: http://www.caphorniers.cl/preussen/preussen02_b.gif of one of the German 5-masted barques anchored in Valparaiso. (It is incorrectly captioned as being the Preussen.) The Chilean flag is just visible on the foremast, as Joe described. She also seems to have a second German flag on the mizzen mast, and another, unidentified flag on the jigger mast.
