Yes.  Write a small wrapper that checks either for the presence of the
appropriate environment variable, or checks that the given variable is
non-empty, and either execs the rest of its commandline (if the variable
meets your criteria) or exits otherwise.  Then insert this wrapper in
the tcpserver commandline before qmail-smtpd.
