There isn't such method in pam_namespace yet. The question is how would
you resolve the conflicts. But in the pam-0.99.10.0 there is already
possibility to share a polyinstantiated directory among users (using the
shared flag). The directory would be polyinstantiated purely based on
the context (or level) so the users with the same context will get the
same instance.
