The sending host talks to qmail-smtpd, which accepts the messages, dumps
it into the queue, and exits. After the message in the queue has been
processed by qmail-send, qmail-local is invoked to deliver the email.
Therefore there's no way for qmail-smtpd's environment to be available
to qmail-local.

Yes, to my knowledge.
