Most likely not. See the G1. The hardware could do multitouch but the OS has this feature locked because Apple is furiously fighting anyone selling devices with multitouch.
I would be careful about such assumptions. After all this is all biz and Apple and Nokia do play ball (in comparison to some Chinese vendors). Obviously, the iPhone 3G has 3G. And you need access to the 3G IPRs for that. And who is owning a lot of IPRs for 3G? Let's see...would that be Qualcomm and Nokia? Yes.
Nokia is not preventing Apple to use 3G, so why would Apple prevent Nokia from multitouch? It's all biz.
