The short answer is no, not at the moment. Currently, the multi-vendor feature is in alpha and should not be used on a live site as it is.
If this feature is important to you, then either wait for a later version of Virtuemart when the feature is stable, or if you need it sooner it will need a great deal of attention from a developer. Reference: FAQ - VirtueMart Official Forum

Starting with version 1.1, VirtueMart offers to style the shop using themes and templates. A theme is what defines certain parts of the look and feel of your shop. All installations of VirtueMart should start out with the default theme. You can change the Theme in the "Site" section of the configuration form. Usually there's only one theme available, so you can't switch. A good way to think of themes is as "plugins", which contain a collection of page templates, images, stylesheets, javascript and other files. While editing these files can be a bit technical, the layout is separated from the content allowing you to make and distribute your own themes. Theme Configuration
Themes can be configured for better usability. Configuration parameters can be used to turn on and off certain parts in templates. The configuration parameters are defined in the file /components/com_virtuemart/themes/THEMENAME/theme.xml and follow the common parameter syntax for components, modules and mambots as used in Mambo >= 4.5.1 and Joomla! (Read more about the mosinstall parameter XML syntax). When a user chooses to configure a theme (Shop Configuration ? Tab "Site ? "Layout", these parameters are parsed and displayed in a nice form. Now the user can make changes to the configuration. The current configuration values are stored in the file /components/com_virtuemart/themes/THEMENAME/theme.config.php. This file is renewed with the new configuration values each time a user saves the theme configuration.

VirtueMart is the leading Online-Shop solution for Joomla! & Mambo (more than 1.5 Million downloads so far). VirtueMart is free! You can download, use and modify it without any restrictions (License: GNU/GPL) - just as Joomla. VirtueMart is no stand-alone script, but a Plug-in and requires the PHP Content Management System Joomla! (or Mambo). So you must install Joomla first, then VirtueMart. The easiest way is to install the VirtueMart eCommerce Bundle: a ready-steady-go bundle of Joomla! & a pre-installed VirtueMart. A lot of translations are available: addtional language files can be found in the Language Pack.
VirtueMart offers a lot of Features, some of the standard Features are listed here. Please note that you can extend the Functionality of Joomla! and VirtueMart using Plugins, Components, Templates and Modules to make them do what you need!
