I can't really answer if it'll ever be in game or not, but I don't see why you couldn't construct a character with similar traits. Generally, IG =/= RP.
So, since the Red Mage is sort of a mix (primarily White Mage and Black Mage skills, iirc?), your character could have knowledge of both sets of skills and be able to use them, provided you don't go too overboard and god-mod, etc.Â
Granted, when you RP them, you couldn't really actually title them a "red mage" so much as "this guy is sort of a jack of all trades."
(I'm going off what I remember them doing from FFXI, for the record.)
