yes, just specify the output files one after the other, always keeping the arguments before the next output file, i.e.

ffmpeg <infile options> -i <infile> <outfile 1 options> <outfile 1> <outfile 2 options> <outfile 2> ..... <outfile N options> <outfile N>

e.g.

ffmpeg -i input.mpg -vcodec mjpeg -acodec copy out1.mov -vcodec mpeg2video -acodec mp2 out2.avi .......
