I doubt that. The pins are connected together. Also:

6.1.9.2  VDD_3V3A Rail
The VDD_3V3A rail is supplied by the TPS65217C and provides the 3.3V for the
processor rails and can provide up to 400mA.

6.1.9.3  VDD_3V3B Rail
The current supplied by the VDD_3V3A rail is not sufficient to power all of 
the 3.3V
rails on the board. So a second LDO is supplied, U4, a TL5209A, which 
sources the
VDD_3V3B rail. It is powered up just after the VDD_3V3A rail.

U4 is capable of sourcing 500 mA, but on-board it also powers nand, 
ethernet and uSD. Whatever is left for externals is less than 500 mA, 250 
mA left as is documented seems reasonable.
