It`s possible, but I think primary usage for it is a embedded, so we need smallest one and only one.
Now in my boxes I use only geom_ulzma.

Only one thing make Adrian idea as wished: gzip already in kernel for other things.
But if world produce new compressor fines than xz/lzma we must drop lzma and use new one.

Anyway I`ve look into, and do it if easy :)
