RF would be a rather cumbersome solution. However, why not have a single
switch and all (or at least several) curtains on the same code. That way
you press the switch and they all react. Obviously there may be some
rooms like bedrooms where you my want separate control ;-)

Likely to cause and unacceptable delay as x10 takes about a second to
react in this scenario. If you have HomeVision then you could consider a
switch connected to the HV ports that in turn triggers the macro. In the
absence of HV, the same can be achieved with VOIM and Homeseer, Paul
Gordon is the expert in that area.
