No go. At least if you're considering the MySQL backend. GnuCash doesn't 
use it except as a store. It reads the whole thing into RAM just like 
with XML. One day it is hoped to be a true db based app, but that is 
still many moons away.

Therefore, you won't get any lockout benefits from the db format itself. 
(but you should still have GnuCash take out a lockfile when you access 
it from the first machine, just like with XML)
