No.  Why?

more than two into a weapon. The max is three. The problem that occurs 
there is minor, but here it is. As you know, putting two proficiencies 
to a weapon is referred to a Specialization. With Specialization, you 
should only be able to do that with one weapon, but you can take 
Proficiency in others. (It makes sense). Putting three proficiencies to 
a weapon is Mastery. With Mastery, you can no longer take WPs in any 
other weapon, though you do keep the proficiencies you already have. No 
you don't get bonuses for high intelligence, but you can substitute 
Language slots for Non-Weapon Proficiency slots (and vice versa). >

slots. You also can't have two weapons with two proficiencies. So your 
best bet is to Master the Sabre, and take a proficiency in Main-Gauche, 
Dagger, and Boxing. This will also allow you to use a Dirk, since it is 
a form of dagger anyway. After this, however, you can't take anymore 
weapon proficiencies (not that that matters in a PBEM campaign anyway).

OK.  According to my math this is one too many, but according to my 
memory of swashbuckler he gets a free prof. in his main weapon.

According to my memory of Swahsbuckler, he gets ettiquette and tumbling 
free (so the math works out).  If that isn't the case, drop the heraldry 
and the extra tumbling

Fine by me.
