Is it possible to bind to separate meshes together during a dforce sim ?

  No, the simulated mesh must be already welded.

  There's no such thing as edge constraints?

  If you're modelling it yourself, you need to weld all items together.

  If it is a bought item, I think there might be a solution, although not really an easy one.

  My understanding is, if you export the clothing to a modeller program you can there add edges between vertexes (e.g. the pocket and the base), and import those edges and assign them as dforce add-on.

  Then DS should consider those items connected when simulating.

  But the edges has to be spot-on, i.e. in the same position as the clothing for DS to register it, so I would assume you cannot have fitted the clothing to anything beside the genesis base character.

  I remember I played around with it when the add-on was introduced, but I never really found it useful.
