It's not, as doing so would violate the XML-RPC multicall specification.

You could likely extend Zend_XmlRpc_Client to do that, but it won't be
something we do in the base library.

The approach you would take is to extend Zend_XmlRpc_Client, and modify
the call() method slightly. If I were to do it, I'd do something like
this:

public function call($method, $params = array())
{
$response = parent::call($method, $params);
if (!$method = 'system.multicall') {
return $response;
}

$newResponse = array();
foreach ($params as $index => $callParams) {
$newResponse[$callParams['methodName']] = $response[$index];
}
return $newResponse;
}

(Note: completely untested!)
