not directly, you could do something similar with regexp match
variables, but it is not yet ideal:

filter f_match { match("(something happened to this host ([0-9\.]+))"); };

destination d_file { file("/var/log/messages" template("$DATE $HOST $2\n"); };

The value for $2 is the value matched by the second parenthesis in the 
last regexp matched.
