Yes, extensive multi-classing CAN penalize the generalist over the specialist. It is one of the catch 22 of D20. You CAN become just about anything but if you are disciplined and view things in the long term it will reward you. Sort o' like real life.
In our fantasy campaign I had a very multiclassed character based around a very specific concept. He was fun to play and in just about any situation he brought something to the table. But when you compared him to other 14th-16th lvl characters, he suffered in over all fire power.
Now I think there is a comparitive difference here between a fantasy game and a Sci-Fi setting. In a typical fantast worl you can get away with being nothing more than a huge hulking barbarian with no other skill than "kick-ass". In your average Sci-Fi game this guys applicability is some what more limited.
In short, in fantasy I think you will see more specialists amongst adventurers and generalists amongst the citizenery. In Sci-Fi I believe this is inverted.

Tom,
It's one of those YMMV situations. I find in D20 games it pays to have several characters that all highly specialise, so that in any given situation you will have one character who can confidantly handle it, rather than several characters all saying "Well, MAYBE..."
BluWolf,
Because of the limited skillset in T20 (a few dozen skills vs a few hundred in GURPS) it's tougher to have a breakdown between "what you do for a living" and "what you do to relax."
Then there will always be the children (REGARDLESS of age) who make characters and say "His job is he's a professional boxer and his hobby is competitive pistol shooting. He also collects books on small squad military tactics, so he has skills in that..."
To which I reply:
"Spontanious airlock falior. That character is dead, make another." These players always seem to show up with "His long-lost twin brother..."

I find that T20 encourages some moderate Multiclassing.
at the vary least ex marines, army, navy in a non-active service campaign will have to level up as some core class once they start adventuring.
even NPC's are commonly multiclassed. (mid tech cop/security are army 3/Professional 3)
stats factor in. as well. and it all depends on what you're after.
if it's base attack bonus. start as a barbarian, do some service as a marine and then become a mercenary and your bonus will be nearly as good as if you had stayed in the marines from 18 to muster out.
if it's a skill then you REALLY score. between world skills and the 'hobby' feat you can ensure that your 'core skills' are always class skills. The classes you skip through turn away from being a straight jacket to be being an aid to understanding the persona.
ie.. the army guy who mostly levels up as a rogue. (every platoon has it's scrounger or wheeler-dealer)
ie the naval 'academic' or professional, a good bureacrat, academy teacher, or medic but... not exactly your most ship-ready officer.
