Sure - biwire is easy - You just run two sets of terminals on the input, one to the woofer and the other to the tweeter. When running a single amp, jumper the two inputs together. When biamping, separate them.

The tweeter circuit is just a capacitor, so it would serve as a useful protection cap when biamping. But the coil in series with the woofer provides low-pass that you won't need if running an active crossover. So you might provide a switch on the back that shorts the coil when running a biamp setup. That coil won't hurt much - the DC resistance is low - but if you're biamping anyway and have a low-pass in an active crossover, it just isn't needed.
