Port Groups on Multiple switches

Is it possible to create a port group that contains ports from multiple physical switches. We are using Catalyst 3500 series switches that are connected to a Catalyst 6509 running layer 3.

All the members of a etherchannel/port group have to be on the same physical switch

The Etherchannel do not HAVE to be on the same switch.

You may configure an etherchannel between 3 physical switches :
