Sort of.
You would have to shell out to the command prompt using xp_cmdshell then run isql (or osql) and log back in with the second account.
Now this will only work if the person running usp_Something is a sysadmin, or the SQL Agent Proxy Account has been setup correctly, and the user running the procedure has been given access to execute xp_cmdshell.
What result are you trying to come up with? I can't think of why you'd want to do this. If would be much easier just to grant the rights needed to run the second procedure.

Code:
create procedure usp_Something as

declare @CMD varchar(1000)
set @CMD = 'isql -S ' + @@SERVERNAME + ' -U {username} -P {password} -Q "usp_Somethingelse"
exec xp_CMDShell @CMD

Denny,
I am actualy trying to run sp_start_job so I can launch an asychronous task from an ASP page. I can set the timeout on the page for a longer period but I want the task to run independant of the user accidenatlly closing the page. I am sending approximately 15,000 emails which are customized for each recepient so even when queuing them.
The customer insist on being able to manually launch the process as he cannot predict when he will have the e-mail body prepared. His technical experience and knowledge are little to none and he has several files to upload before the process begins. To this end, I have created an ASP interface for him to log into, attach his files and upload them. My script takes over at that point and cleans up his files, organizes them and, hopefully, launches the mailing routine(s).
I really didn't want to give rights/access to my ASP scripts to the msdn db if I didn't need to.
