You can achive the same by doing this

1. Unlock the column header
2. Set the cloumn header source as Text (Remove the Blank Text in step 5)
3. Insert a table (1 Col and 2 Rows) in the list column header and set the table cell border as "None".
4. Define the content as you wish
5. Remove the Blank Text

If you are talking about pooling all the values of a field into one cell, the answer would be implementation of repeater.

Good Luck!
