Yes.

Consider the following setup:

        Internet
           |
        Bastion
         Host
           |
       ========= Firewall, eg Router doing NAT
           |
        Internal
          Host

The bastion host has a mini-qmail installation; qmail-queue is replaced
by qmail-qmqpc.  
The internal host has a full qmail installation and also runs
qmail-qmqpd

Incoming mail is received by qmail-smtpd on the bastion host and passed
directly to the internal host using qmqp.
