Yes. Just set $smarty->template_dir to an absolute path. You will run  
into problems with name clashes however - e.g. if domain 1 and 2 both  
have an index.tpl, they will point at the same file. Alternatively,  
you could create a new resource type that managed multiple template  
locations: http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/template.resources.php

Matt Zandstra's talk at the PHP London conference was all about a  
structure like this: http://www.phpconference.co.uk/2006/talks/ 
the_template_path_-_matt_zandstra.html
I'm looking to see if i can find an online version of the talk.
