Within the flow, yes, but not entire FO documents.

I need this in my training material, and I use XSL-FO to produce the 
"one-up" masters in PDF and then I use a combination of Python/Jython/iText 
to programmatically assemble the page images into a "two-up" final product.

You cannot place two different headers on a single page ... there is only 
one set of perimeter regions.  You would end up having to produce a 
two-column display and you lose the semantic of the page number.  If you 
don't have page numbers, you could play with the columns in this way, but I 
don't think it will be pretty.

I hope this helps.
