Using one key to sign multiple zones (aka key sharing)

Named is written such that each DNSKEY has its own key files.  This
stores meta data about the DNSKEY.  There is nothing to prevent on
extracting the RSA key pair and re-using it for a differnet DNSKEY.
We just don't have a tool to do this.

If you are using a HSM then using dnssec-keyfromlabel multiple times
with the same label will do the same thing.

It basically comes down to whether you are working with a DNSKEY
or a RSA key and where the meta data is stored.
