Exhibit doesn't do CSV like that, no. I wrote up a one-off translator for this Exhibited Timeplot:
http://ryanlee.org/2009/02/obirh.html which is a display of Online Bank Interest Rate history pulled from somebody else's Google Docs spreadsheet. I think you'll have to normalize your data stream(s) one way or another; it's quite possible CSV->JSON is the least painful. Anything else currently involves writing Exhibit / Timeplot code.
