Can a single WCF service offer multiple interfaces, and if so how would you express this in app.config
?
I mean one services offering several Interfaces on one endpoint.

First you need to be clear what a service is. Do you mean a single endpoint, or multiple endpoints in the same host?
Assuming you mean a single endpoint, then yes, but with a little work. An endpoint can only implement a single interface; so what you need to do is combine all the interfaces you want to implement into a single interface
public interface IMyInterface : IInterface1, IInterface2
and then implement them all inside your implementation class. What you cannot do is have multiple interfaces and multiple implementations magically merge into a single endpoint.
With WCF, you can:
Here's how you could expose the same interface on two different endpoints in your App.Config if that's waht you are asking.
<service name="Service1">
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8001/service1.asmx" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="IService" />
</service>
<service name="Service2">
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8002/service2.asmx" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="IService" />
</service>
