Presently: No.
It shouldn't be all that difficult to do, though.
Instead of single bind-address storage, a chain of storages
could be used. Hmm...

Yes.
I have thought of altering the smtpserver configuration syntax
to be more like what ISC's dhcpd or named use.
If I were to make such a change, scheduler would receive the same
treatment, I think. And perhaps also Transport Agents.
But alas, I think I will simply make it possible to define
multiple binds by doing chained (or something like it)
address lists.
There are a number of things in the listen() code, which
are asking for streamlining at the same time.
