Yes
have two 580 ex's which I'm using to overexpose the background, don't really want to use a pocket wizard tranceiver on both. Is ther some sort of cable arrangement that will allow the two flashes to be driven of the one wizard?

Thanks
 
If you have two speedlight to pocket wizard cables, then maybe attach those to a headphone splitter and then the plug the splitter into a single pocket wizard. Never tried it so don't take my word!

edit: just read they are flextt, not sure with those sorry.

Yes. I asked the same question of PW. This is their reply, though I've not tried it. A guy called Michael Bass in the US also does modded cords (expensive!).

"Our radios are designed to be connected directly to only one flash at a time, and as such we only support connecting one flash per radio.
I have to first off preface the information I'm about to give you by saying that it's not recommended or supported - so proceed at your own risk! The reason that we don't support multiple flashes on one radio is that a conflicting set of communications between the two flashes and the radio could cause undesired operation.
In theory, using identical model flashes would cut down on the likelihood of this occurring, but in any multiple flash configuration on one FlexTT5, unexpected results could occur, and are something that we can't support.
With all of that said, I have heard reports of customers trying this with decent results - most notably here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oliver_clap/4754705918/in/pool-356484@N20/
You might want to try getting in touch with other photographers who have tried this previously, to gauge the results you might get with your setup."
