You most certainly can.  Here's a link to the full dnsmasq.conf.example 
file from the main website:

http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq.conf.example

What you want to do is specify these options.  This would force that mac 
address into the "red" network group and force any options that are 
tagged as "red" to go to that device.

dhcp-mac=red,00:00:00:FF:XX:ZZ
dhcp-boot=net:red,bootfile,boothost

You could then have

dhcp-boot=otherbootfile,boothost

in which case all other devices should go for that bootfile instead of 
the other one.  You might find some other resources for dnsmasq, but 
it's really a nice tool that is very flexible.
