Only if the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES (which will be clearly superflous after the cleanup patches because the amount of addition code is minimal) _and_ you mount with -o newinstance, and then you have another -o ptmxmode=foo option to make it useable.
Really, even if we're really cautious there should be no compiletime and just a single mount time option, but I'm not even sure that is needed with the default zero mode.
