No, you can have at most one console device at a time.  Note that
/dev/console is a logical device, not a phyiscal one.  It's very
common to redirect it to something else than /dev/ttyv0 or /dev/ttyd0.
See the console output on /dev/ttyv1 when sysinstall is running as
init, or xconsole.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
