Nope. See:
Bv9ARM.ch06.html#id2578392 ::

[ listen-on [ port ip_port ] { address_match_list }; ]

and then Bv9ARM.ch06.html#address_match_lists ::

address_match_list = address_match_list_element ;
  [ address_match_list_element; ... ]
address_match_list_element = [ ! ] (ip_address [/length] |
   key key_id | acl_name | { address_match_list } )

Read on through "Definition and Usage".

What is the real-world problem you want to solve here? If your wan 
interface is a dynamic IP address, it is not usable as a NS host. 
Internal interfaces have static IP addresses, right?
