If you mean "make it so" as in "make it have the multi-thread model Java has" then in my opinion it would be a waste of effort to ever do that.  Now what Erlang has would be great and I would expect to be much easier to add to the VM.

That is lots of information out there as to why the currently popular brand of "concurrency" is bad and needs to go away.  Systems that don't have it now shouldn't be making huge efforts to add it, but rather just go right into more advanced stuff.
