No, it cannot. Any content in Orchard will respond only to the permalink, that was assigned to it....and Orchard does not allow to use query string parameters like "?lang=fr-FR" in permalinks. When you add a localization for some content item in Orchard, you actually create another content item, that is absolutely all-sufficient. From this perspective it seems logically, that GA considers every translation as a standalone page.
The approach for localization, which is used in Orchard has some benefits, as well as some disadvantages (like one raised by you). I think eventually it will need to be implemented a different way, when localizable content will have just different versions for different cultures, instead of having linked content items (like it is today).
