Paul, Generally speaking - no - GDAL does not now support multi-threaded writing. Part of this is due to the way stuff gets write-flushed out of the block cache and partly it is just that none of GDAL supports multiple threading on a single dataset.
This statement is based on the assumption it is all in one process. If you want to run different processes with the output to a pre-existing "fixed location" format like uncompressed GeoTIFF with tiles that is all preinitialized to some real value then you could certainly use one output file for many writers as long as case is taken to not have multiple processes write to the same tile. But GDAL isn't doing anything to make this easy.
