You can have anything you want in the routing table, including multiple 
gateways. However, like Peter mentioned, you should be aware that the 
kernel will probably use only one gateway at the end.

I think network-manager takes indeed care to not configure multiple 
gateways (and it changes default metric from 1 to 2 on wireless 
interfaces as well). Using dhclient on the command line will probably 
fix that part.
