Yes, you can do this with a bit of coding. If it were me, and you're using
Plone 3, I'd maybe make a new content rule action type that did the renaming
based on your site-specific policy (a little bit of Python + some
registration) and assign a rule with this action to the relevant folders.

That'd be part of the logic in that rule. It could inspect the target folder
and check for colisions.
