Yes,  this  was mentioned before in this mailing list. This can easily  be
achieved  by plugging in RSS Merge v0.2.0, which is closely-related to the
WordPress   codebase,   but  is  not  dependent  or  restricted   by   it:

To provide its short introduction:

Of  course,  it's also possible to use the exiting framework  and  there's
Planet  as well < http://www.planetplanet.org/ > . These tools give wider,
more  flexible real estate (in the context of screen size) and can obviate
the need for bloated desktop/Web-based RSS reader

Best wishes,

Roy
