No - not with update manager. Download a 3.1(.1) package and start from

See the leftover part of the GP quote.

It helps to have an extra directory per additional plugin/feature - either 
with link files or by making them look like extensions and adding them as 
a new extension location or by putting them each in their own location 
with the update manager.
