Yes, for sure. 

Create as many collections as you want for your own and add one let 
say in the folder /family/photo. Set permissions of this folder that 
all users of a given group can access this folder (for unix/linux: 
"chgrp family /family/photo" and perimission "chmod 2775 
/family/photo" - this assumes that the group family already exists - 
and set umask of all users to 0002).

In the given folder all members of the family group have access to the 
files. The users have to add the collection to their digikam of 
course.

This is basically more an operating system problem than a digikam one. 
What kind of OS are you using?
