Not directly.

You could create an APK file that has other APK files as assets. Then,
you could copy those APKs out to, say, the SD card, then fire an Intent
to get Android to install them. However:

1. You then take up 2x the space in the on-board flash, since the
packaged editions of the APKs will stay around as long as your main app
does.

2. You might have to deal with the possibility that the user has those
other APKs already installed from some other source.

3. You may not be authorized to distribute com.someother.utils in that
fashion.

4. Your app will be that much larger to download.

5. You'll need to advise the users as to why you are launching other
installers, since that process will not be transparent to the user.

And so on.
