in straight HTML, no... that's not how <dl>s work...
you could try it with CSS, but i suspect you will be disappointed
with the results...
while it's good that you want to use some structural markup in the
page, the use of the <dl> isn't really appropriate for what you are
doing, nor can you have that much control over its display...
