GetMulti can return a appengine.MultiError in this case. Loop through that and look for datastore.ErrNoSuchEntity. For example:

if err := datastore.GetMulti(c, keys, dst); err != nil {
    if me, ok := err.(appengine.MultiError); ok {
        for i, merr := range me {
            if merr == datastore.ErrNoSuchEntity {
                // keys[i] is missing
            }
        }
    } else {
        return err
    }
}
