No.  =(

While the price of hardware continues to fall making the option of 
having two CRT displays for the price of one LCD display an appealing 
option, Squeak does not support it.

To do so would require some changes to the image format and VM... 
Currently Display is a special object that can be accessed by the 
platform dependant VM code which then creates a display based on a raw 
bitmap stored in the image. Many changes would be required to allow one 
to instantiate Display as you suggest. =\
