Yes. This is implemented for all subclasses of the HTTPRequest layer -- 
if the "URL" parameter is an Array (as described as a possibility on
http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/HTTPRequest-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.HTTPRequest.OpenLayers.Layer.HTTPRequest),
then a URL will be selected based on a hash of the tile parameters. 

The multiserver.html file demonstrates this.
