Everything that I am seeing so far, indicates no.
Do the rules allow for multiple cohorts?
No. But you can have a cohort, a bunch of followers, an animal companion, a familiar, a bonded mount, and an eidolon, if you multiclass appropriately.
I am aware of no method via official Pazio/Pathfinder channels that allows for multiple cohorts at the same time.
However, there are 3rd party resources that DO allow you to have more than one (though typically there are restrictions to your second cohort and it is not as powerful as the first).

There are? Sheesh, Leadership is already considered one of the most potentially broken feats in the game....
Lol, I probably went to far, but there was an evil campaign where I convinced my DM to allow for Gestalt builds and 3rd party materials...
I played a Medusa witch with a coven of weapon transforming witches and shamans and had two cohorts where were held in each hand as a syringe spear and dagger. My two cohorts had levels of magus and could channel spells through themselves when I attacked. There were a series of feats where I could aggregate my covens spell slots together and cast any spell available (which gave me over 60 first level spells).
3rd party stuff is not meant for balance. One weapon would Evil Eye, the Other Misfortune and then I would Stone Gaze... IT WAS AWESOME!
Noble Scion PrC basically gives you a second, heavily restricted, cohort.
You could take the Squire feat at 3rd level and the Torchbearer at 5th level, giving you two cohorts at 5th and 6th levels. Unfortunately, both of these feats convert to Leadership at 7th level, eliminating one of the cohorts and leaving you with a redundant feat to retrain.

0.o?
Yup... 1 cohort only.
The reason I was wondering about it, goes back to a post I made in the Advice forum, where I have a player (witch) is looking to start their own philosophy...
LOL... I already informed my players that would be a no go...
