Can it be done?
How can the tubing be run forward.

You'll have to cut holes in the fin and possibly elsewhere to install a
mount and route the tubing.

Can multiple vario's be plumbed from this probe.

Yes.

Presently have the factory diaphragm compensation.
Presently have two: a Filsner audio and a PZL netto.
Want to install a Winter log as mechanical backup.

Life will be a lot easier for you if you make a Nicks TE probe, and
mount it on the fuselage above the wing. See this article:

I'll second this. Dick showed some of this at the SSA convention. Almost
trivial installation. Tail probes take 8-10 hours of shop time, done
right.
