Currently no, but that's honestly a rather cool idea.
The reason that it wouldn't work right now is that the engine
framework only has the functionality to retrieve keys or key handles
from a HSM. No storage capabilities and no certificates on HSM. I
don't know what the rest of the development team says about this, but
I would for sure be interested into looking at implementing that kind
of extension.
This won't happen for 0.9.7, however. We already have a lot of new
stuff coming with that release, so extensions like the above will have
to wait 'til 0.9.8 or later.
