Doesn't look like it at this point, but it's probably possible and more likely if AMD/ATi also jumps on board to support CUDA/PhysX. I think the technology is very interesting because it's flexible enough to allow you to use it on a single GPU, the CPU, or multiple GPU's in 2 different configurations.
SLI:
GPU1 + GPU2 - both process Physics with work split between both
SLI Alt:
GPU1 - does all GPU video rendering
GPU2 - does all Physics processing
Luckily, I have an extra 8800gt to spare and judging from the recent benchmarks, that configuration works quite well with PhysX.
