Its not possible yet. A product needs to be written that
duplicates the ZCatalog interface, and simply returns the
results from a list of registered Catalogs - fairly simple
but down in my list of priorities so any volunteers? :-)
The only tricky thing would be deciding if the indexes and meta
data are going to be the _intersection_ of all registered ZCatalogs, 
or the _union_ of all registered ZCatalogs. In theory, you should
be able to add any searchable instances to such a product (ZSQL methods
etc).

Have a look at BasicUser in lib/python/AccessControl/User.py.
The AUTHENTICATED_USER instance will be a subclass of BasicUser
