I never had any problem doing so.  Here's my ccd's disklabel entry:

ccdx32:\
	:ty=winchester:dt=SCSI:rm#5411:\
	:se#512:nc#2416:nt#125:ns#48:\
	:oc#0:pc#14496000:\
	:ob#2:pb#287486:tb=swap:\
	:od#287488:pd#503808:td=4.2BSD:\
	:oe#791296:pe#2801664:te=4.2BSD:\
	:of#3592960:pf#5402624:tf=4.2BSD:\
	:og#8995584:pg#5496832:tg=4.2BSD:

I've been told that you're better off not using a ccd partition for swap,
but I haven't gotten around to dumping everything, repartitioning the raw
drives, etc., to do swap partitions on each drive.
