  I think the answer really varies from state to state, but it is 
  possible in some cases.

  Several years ago, I was in the Air Force and stationed in Kansas. My 
  state of residency was Wisconsin at the time. I bought a motorcycle,
  and wanted to get a motorcycle endorsement. Wisconsin required a driving
  test, would not accept the Kansas test, or anything short of having me 
  schedule a test with a Wisconsin examiner and take leave to go to 
  Wisconsin for the test.

  What to do?  I went down to the Kansas DMV and explained the situation.
  They issued me a Kansas drivers liscense, using my Wisconsin liscense as 
  proof of competence (written test only).

  When it came time to renew the Wisconsin liscense, they asked whether I
  had a valid liscense in any other state. I replied that I had a Kansas
  liscense. They then required me to turn in my Kansas liscense before 
  getting a new Wisconsin one.

  I went back to Kansas, and they issued me a duplicate, even though Wisconsin
  had sent a request for cancellation.

  So..  find out about requirements in other states, especially Western states
  where requirements are a bit looser.
