No, not possible out of the box. It's quite hard to define what 
'load-balance' would actually entail here. It would probably be 
something along the lines of what Multipath TCP does.

You could use the Tor API to periodically reset the value of the socks 
proxy. That's probably a different kind of load-balancing than you had 
in mind.
