As long as your hardware supports a secondary address *and* a
secondary IRQ, yes. (Most cards have the former, but lack the latter
however.)

2.0.5R ships with it. It's even in 1.1.5.1's LINT file:
controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr
disk wd2 at wdc1 drive 0
disk wd3 at wdc1 drive 1
