Not really, no;  the nature of HTTPS makes it (almost) impossible to
support multiple different specifically-named virtual hosts on a single
IP without excessive hackery.

I did read something recently about being able to put multiple,
specific, fully-qualified names into a certificate;  however there was
also a note that some browsers don't like those certs.  :/  I'd just go
with a wildcard cert.
