Edit: This is debated! Check comment beneath... I havent had time to investigate...

I think it is already turned on.

I couldn't find a spot-on source but Faisal Mohamood(Program Manager, Entity Framework) states the following back in 2010: "Needless to say, we will make sure that MARS is automatically turned ON for SQL Azure based apps when we get around to releasing the next update to the product."
