This is possible now with the new like syntax:

{
    "more_like_this" : {
        "fields" : ["title", "description"],
        "like" : [
        {
            "_index" : "imdb",
            "_type" : "movies",
            "_id" : "1"
        },
        {
            "_index" : "imdb",
            "_type" : "movies",
            "_id" : "2"
        }],
        "min_term_freq" : 1,
        "max_query_terms" : 12
    }
}
