Yes, but not directly through the built-in "reverse_host_lookup" ACL
parameter since it does the forward check automatically.
Here is the equivalent ACL you could use based upon your example:
defer
!condition = ${lookup dnsdb{defer_never,ptr=$sender_host_address}{yes}}
message = Reverse DNS lookup failed for host $sender_host_address
