So far this is not possible, no. There is an ugly, but workable, 
solution in using Firefox's profile manager. By creating two separate 
profiles in the profile manager (by running Firefox with the 
-profilemanager switch) and creating two shortcuts/links with respective 
-P "yourprofilename" switches, it is possible to run two separate 
instances of Firefox, one of which is free to use Torbutton while the 
other does not.

Until Firefox provides a way to isolate tabs as individual processes, I 
don't see such a feature being implemented.
