Yes.  In my setup, I have several IMAP accounts set up like so:

  (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
               '(nnimap "IMAP1"
                        (nnimap-address "xxxx.de")
                        ;....))
  (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
               '(nnimap "IMAP2"
                        (nnimap-address "xxxx.de")
                        ;....))

So the names "IMAP1", "IMAP2" &c. of these servers are not hostnames
(the addresses are specified via 'nnimap-address').

In the .authinfo file, the 'machine' field gets the name of the server,
ie,

  machine IMAP1 login xxx ....
  machine IMAP2 login zzz ....


(I should not here that I use Gnus v5.13 in Emacs 23.3.1.)

   Enrico
