not specifically, but a CELL (integer) map could use the 2^n trick:
cell value is comination of 1+2+4+8+16+32+...
feature A is "1"
feature B is "2"
feature C is "4"
feature D is "8"
etc...
so if pixel has features A,C,D but not B, the cell value = 13.
???
In general the raster is a grid of actual data, not a grid of points.
I guess if raster contains less than 1 million cells you could do
"r.to.vect feature=point", then link many attributes to each point in a
DB table.
