afaik it is not - but you can easily deploy a second agent process in this second namespace:
Copy code
prefect agent kubernetes start --namespace my-namespaceAnna Geller

I believe the reason for that is more related to Kubernetes permissions rather than Prefect agent limitations - it would be difficult to deploy flow run pods from a process running in one Kubernetes namespace to the other namespace because this process has by default no access to that other Kubernetes namespace

(I'm no Kubernetes admin though - you may ask on Kubernetes discourse to be sure)
