Hi all,
I think there is.

Look into gift-config.mrml. In gift-config.mrml, query processors are built
of other query processors. The separate_normalisation algorithm makes use of
it. It uses 4 query engines that are configured to use the same collection
but use different features on these collections. (As I recall, the queries
are processed in parallel, making use of multiprocessor architectures.
Debugging that stuff was good fun.) You could configure the query processors
to use 4 different collections and this should do about what you want them
to do.

There would be an issue, though: The ranking method of GIFT considers the
other images of one collection for scoring. As a consequence, if you run 4
queries in 4 collections, the ranking values would not be quite
commensurate. However, if this did not hurt you before, knowing that won't
hurt you either.

Best,
Wolfgang
