Not directly as in "make 10 copies of this..."

However it does support append board (PCBnew file menu)
You can use this to load another board into the current board.

The only gotcha is to make sure that you move your current board away
from the centre first, or the import can sometimes overlay the appended
board over the top of the current which just makes a mess.


Once loaded you can also use the copy block commands to create more
copies as needed.
