It is already possible by using a suffix:

# cp busybox busybox2
# ./busybox2
BusyBox v1.19.0.git (2011-03-01 16:23:40 CET) multi-call binary.

Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]...
   or: busybox --list[-full]
   or: function [arguments]...

        BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
        utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
        link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
        will act like whatever it was invoked as.

Currently defined functions:
        [, [[, acpid, add-shell, addgroup, adduser ...
