The Kindle can only have one "primary" dictionary at a time, but this does not have to be the provided dictionary. However, the only other dictionaries known to work are DRM-free MOBI dictionaries.
Other devices running software very similar to that on the Kindle (e.g. iLiad and Cybook Gen3) support multiple DRMed MOBI dictionaries. So it is possible that a future upgrade to the Kindle's firmware will provide DRMed dictionary, and perhaps multiple dictionary, support. However, there has been no announcement of this and you would certainly have to buy the dictionaries from the Kindle store.
