At present, no.  Good idea though.  The closest thing is the setuid
features of Xitami (which currently work only under Unix; you can do
something similar with the service version for Windows NT); but the
setuid feature only lets you change which uid Xitami runs as once (and
all CGIs will also run as that uid).
