In the upcoming KDE4 version of digiKam, multi-root albums are possible, but 
it is not planned for 0.9 series anymore.

I'm afraid not.

The sort order can be changed (View menu) between folder, collection and date, 
and the order can be inverted.
No hiding feature so far in digikam. You have to rename the album from outside 
digiKam to .folder to hide it.
