Currently, no.  "get_host_ipaddr()" and "get_host_ipaddr6()" could be 
modified to do so.  (Note that those aren't used in dissectors; they're 
only used when parsing display filters.  Note, though, that, in display 
filters, we should allow host names to be translated into a *set* of 
addresses, with address fields matching *any* of those addresses if you 
compare for equality.)
