I think if that was a feature, it would pretty much be malpractice? 
Arbitrary manipulation of key assignments is not specifically allowed in 
RFC 4880 (openPGP's), although it is possible to transfer public keys to 
different user packets.

The easiest and most consistent way for you to achieve this would be, I 
think, to duplicate a at b.org's entry in your GPG keychain by assigning to 
a new ID c at d.org the same public key as a at b.org.

That said, I am not an expert on openPGP compliance. :-)
