Yes, you can do it with scripting. Start by checking out this page:

http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/TkSurferGuide_2fTkSurferScripting_2fTkSurferIntroToScripting

In your case, if your overlay files are volumes, you should use the
function sclv_read_from_volume instead of sclv_read_from_dotw. Reference
for scripting commands is here:

Hi all,
Sourcing stable3, using tksurfer, does anyone know how to load more than
one overlay at a time from the command line? (something like: tksurfer
<subject> <hemi> <surface> -overlay1 ??? -overlay2 ??? overlay3 ???) Does
this require scripting w/ tksurfer?
