The GDAL PDF writer creates PDF "at hand" and is able to create layered PDFs :
http://gdal.org/frmt_pdf.html
Currently one raster layer, one "annotation" layer for legend, and several 
vector layers, 
mostly due to the API constraints of the GDAL API.
I'm not sure how feasible it would be (would require at least renumbering PDF 
objects and 
merging drawing instructions), but potentially you could render several layers 
into 
separate PDFs and then merge the PDFs into a single layered one
