It's not a built-in feature of tcpsvd, no.  But it should be possible to
do such things with a separate program put into the process chain between
tcpsvd and the service program.  It gathers the necessary information,
and execs into the service program, or doesn't, based on this
information.  It may additionally adjust the tcpsvd configuration
through the instructions directory.
