Yeah. You can definitely use a single power supply and a daisy chain cable for all three Volcas. Just be sure that your power supply has the correct barrel plug, polarity, voltage, and current capacity.

There's a small power supply on the market for the Volcas and it can only provide 600 mA of current, which is not enough to power all three Volcas at the same time. But I'm sure it would work just fine for powering a single Volca.

The Korg KA350 and the KVgear PS-1 power supply are beefy enough to power at least 3 Volcas with a daisy chain cable.

Yes it's definately possible. I used a 9V 2A power supply and spliced 4 cables together with the correct barrel tips, and this works with no problem at all for powering the 3 volcas and the monotribe at the same time. I got all the bits from Maplin.
