No. It isn't part of the SMTP protocol. With a webserver, the client sends a "Host: foo.bar.com" request header (for HTTP/1.1 requests) which the server uses to determine the virtual host being called. SMTP does not have an analogous definition. And even if it did, you couldn't use multiple certificates on the same IP address - you can't with a webserver, either; the request must be decoded to determine the Host: header, and this means the certificate must already be selected by the server. Catch-22, and a well-known one.
