No, you would use IPFW to forward different IP ranges through one interface or
the other to obtain crude load balancing.  Getting two connections from the same
ISP would possibly let you do multilink aggregation.

You could also look into CARP.

The other choice is to obtain a routable subnet from ARIN or your local IP
registrar and set up BGP multihoming, but it's unlikely that your DSL provider
is willing to do so.
