The short, easy answer? No.

The problem with how Links SQL works, (to allow pages to be in multiple categories) is that without a bit of customization, your detail page has no idea what category it's in. (Take a look at the header bar).

When a detail page is displayed, all that's passed in is the LinkID as ID=. There is no way for the page to know what category it's in.

To display category keywords, you'd want to pass in a CategoryID value, and look up the category record, and yank the keywords from that, before displaying the page. While it would be "cheaper" to pull the category keywords first, you don't want to really pass them with each link -- as disclosing your keywords in that fashion helps raiders pluck your traffic.
