There is only one listener per host. It takes a small amount of coding effort to allow for multiple listeners per host. But no workload as yet (benchmarked on 12-core Xeon) has been shown to warrant multiple listeners. It's very possible that larger hosts may benefit from distributing incoming TCP/IP traffic across multiple listeners, and the effort to allow that won't be difficult to implement.
