No.

The SNMPv3 User Security Model is independent of the source location.
There's nothing within this model to take account of where the request
comes from.

You could use firewall configuration, or the sockets that the agent listens on
to only accept requests from localhost.  But that would be universal.
There's no way to restrict SNMPv3 requests to a particular source addresse.
