Not with ffmpeg alone at this time.

Implementing a "tee" muxer and/or protocol¹ would not be difficult. It would
be more a hack than proper design, but sometimes a hack today can help
waiting for the proper design in three years.

1: both can be of use in slightly different situations, although since
muxing is not usually an expensive operation, the muxer would probably cover
most cases.
