Don't think so.  
I can't see any option which lets squeezelite choose which network
interface it is supposed to use.
Looking at the code - unless mac address has been defined (via UTMAC env
variable I think) , squeezelite first looks for a network interface
which can support SOCK_DGRAM (for server discovery) - so it uses
SIOCGIFCONF to list all matching interfaces.  AFAICT If main network
interface is not ready - then code may fall into using "loopback".

When Squeezelite starts (like any SB player) it broadcasts a packet to
discover all LMS servers - so squeezelite has to use a real network
interface. The only exception I think is LocalPlayer. 
A preconfigured server can be defined using "-s" option which is not
used in this case.
