No.  By design, IPMP interfaces are IP interfaces and IP interfaces are
assigned IP addresses, not hardware addresses.

When the IPMP interface requests a DHCP lease, it will include a DHCP
client identifier.  This identifier is what any conforming DHCP server
must use to identify a client.  If you want a specific identifier, you can
set it using CLIENT_ID in /etc/default/dhcpagent; see dhcpagent(1M).
