It's not supported "as such" yet.
But you can accomplish it by doing the following:
Run
    pdf2swf file.pdf -o page%.swf
.
Then, create a swfc script "library.sc" with the following content
(using the output of pdf2swf -I and a scripting language
 of your choice):

.flash name=library.swf
    .swf page1 page1.swf
    .frame n+=1
    .swf page2 page2.swf
    .frame n+=1
    .swf page3 page3.swf
    .frame n+=1
    .swf page4 page3.swf
    .frame n+=1
        ... and so on ...
.end

Run this through
    swfc library.sc
.
The resulting file library.swf should be in your desired format.

It means that you can't place AS3 ActionScript in swfc files yet. 
As long as you don't (like in the script above), the output is perfectly
Flash9 compatible.
