Possible

Have a look at the examples in the comments of the settings.php file.

The first comment of that issue explains what to do.

Make a directory sites/www.example.com.fr, another 
sites/www.example.com.en and another sites/www.example.com.de.  Then 
copy the pristine version of the settings.php file from the 
sites/default folder to each of these or if you're using version 6 you 
copy the default.settings.php.

The question becomes what data should be shared?  Or are they 
independent?  If each site shares the same database be sure to set a 
db_prefix for each site (something like fr_ or de_).
