Unless there is additional/different behavior with Server, I'm already getting this with Snow Leopard client right now. I can see a single Time Machine share on any computer on the network and can backup any drive internal or external to this Time Machine share. This even works when the remote share is presented with a non-Mac OS machine, e.g. Fedora, so long as you're using a recent version of Netatalk to implement AFP 3.3 among some other items.
