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.
