No, unfortunately. The current nftl driver can not support 2 or
more nftl partitions in a single /dev/mtd device. It should not
be too diffcult to fix. Just add a loop around NFTL_mount in
NFTL_setup. Actually there are some other "bugs", try to
nftl_format /dev/mtd0 0x100000 0x500000 and see what happen.

AFIAK, you have to use JFFS with /dev/mtdblock rather than /dev/nftl
