This is certainly possible, though I'm not sure how to do it with SWIG. 
I did this in the past with a hand-written extension package though. 
Here's the relevant code:

TAP_ext is the name of the package, and I'm putting a few modules in it. 
Each of those modules has their own initModuleName function.

 From this, maybe you can figure out how to get SWIG to do it.


void initTAP_ext(void)
{
     PyObject* module;
     PyObject* package = Py_InitModule("TAP_ext", noMethods);
     if(!package) return;

     /* add package attributes, if any */
     /*PyModule_AddStringConstant(package, "foo", "bar");*/

     module = PyImport_AddModule("TAP_ext.check_receptors");
     if(!module) return;
     if(PyModule_AddObject(package, "check_receptors", module))
         return;
     Py_INCREF(module);
     initcheck_receptors();

     module = PyImport_AddModule("TAP_ext.CalcPolygons");
     if(!module) return;
     if(PyModule_AddObject(package, "CalcPolygons", module))
         return;
     Py_INCREF(module);
     initCalcPolygons();

     module = PyImport_AddModule("TAP_ext.NumericExtras");
     if(!module) return;
     if(PyModule_AddObject(package, "NumericExtras", module))
         return;
     Py_INCREF(module);
     initNumericExtras();

}
