Won't work.

If Akismet comes first and some other plugin next, than the other plugin 
will do whatever it does with the comment and most likely ignore what 
Akismet said ...

If Akismet comes last it will overrule all decisions of other anti-spam 
plugins that classified the comment as ham.

Multiple anti-spam plugins simply do not work in the current Wordpress 
... that's why Spam Karmas concept is the way to go ... let wordpress 
collect multiple opinions from different plugins, weight them and then 
decide if it's spam or not ...

But this definitely belongs to the wp-hackers list now ;-)
