I am aware that you can us an FHA 203k Loan to purchase a property, however I would like to know if you could use an FHA 203k Loan to build a 4-Plex from scratch?

No, its a rehab loan only. You would have to get a construction loan to do this, and have the land etc no one is going to do it with 3.5 down, or take the risk. Way better off rehabbing for your first deals, but with FHA I would find something turn key.
I am trying to do the same thing in my area. I wanted to check in with you to see how you did this past year. Were you able to build that 4 unit? Contact me to give me the details and what you have learned.
