Nope... only one router can bring up the PPPOE stack and have an active 
data connection.

However, if your other router includes wireless functionality (as it 
must by implication), then you might be able to bring it up as a second 
node in the same SSID, acting as a wireless extender for your network 
rather than a second router.
