I did a few weeks ago, in a special circumstance, but it's technically possible.
I had a flight with US airways starting with a Lufthansa segment. I originally had my LH # in there as I had planned to make FTL last year. I decided about a week before departure to credit the miles to A3 instead, since it would bring me most of the way to *G.
However, at check-in, Lufthansa's stupid systems switched it all back to M&M without asking me anything, and I noticed on my BP that printed at the airport. LH said they couldn't fix it.
I called and tweeted US a few times while I was underway, and they eventually put back my A3 number on the US airways flights. Their flights all credited correctly.
Still trying to get Lufthansa to credit the miles from LH metal flights to A3.
