Yes, this is possible, provided the device is rooted, and running only 4.1. Even then, it is an unofficial method that relies on executing terminal commands in a root shell.
I wrote the User Management app when this feature was originally discovered, and then later open sourced it in the interests of helping others. You can find the code on GitHub here.
Other than executing commands in a root shell, there is no method of achieving this AFAIK. The Android SDK does not provide any APIs for creating additional users.
