Yes, but it's annoying as s*** (for the user).

(sort of(Pseudo-Code)) (I'm too lazy to look up the method names/libraries)

-(void)playSounds{
    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc]init];
    [self playSound1];
    [self playSound2];
    [pool release];
}

-(void)playSound1{
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"file1" 
                                                      ofType:@"m4a"];  
    AVAudioPlayer* player= [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:
                                                 [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]
                                                                  error:NULL];  
    player.delegate = self;  
    [player play];
}

-(void)playSound2{
     SString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"file2" 
                                                      ofType:@"m4a"];  
    AVAudioPlayer* player= [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:
                                                 [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]
                                                                  error:NULL];  
    player.delegate = self;  
    [player play];
}

Note that this is really quick and dirty. If you want precision, you'll probably have to notify when the players are ready and write a function that fires them at once.
