It would be very difficult. Duplicity's backups are very self-contained, and 
are unaware of any other backups in the system. You'd have to supply some sort 
of index file or a list of directories on the backup server to look in, first 
of all, and then somehow link that incremental backup to another in a way that 
it could remember for next time.

In order for this to work reliably, duplicity would have to become a little 
more complex than it is now. It would have to manage all your backups in one 
spot, using a new central interface with its own settings and whatnot.

Summary: it'd be a project. :)
