No, that is currently not possible.

I don't know how this would be supposed to work. If I access fn=/img1
would this use /image1/img1.jpg or /image2/imag1.jpg?

What are you trying to achieve?

If your problem is with the filesystem root then you could theoretically
use basedir-list=/ and fn=image1/img1 but this would be very dangerous
because you would also be able to access any file on the server through
digilib. It would be better to re-mount the image directories somewhere
else and use that as base directory.
