No, unfortunately. To my knowledge, there is also no sieve extension 
that specifies such behavior. The only proposed extension that has the 
ability to do a background lookup is extlists, but that has nothing to 
do with retrieving arbitrary strings from a database and will not be 
useful for your purpose. If you feel that is might be commonly desired 
feature of the sieve language, you could ask around on the 
ietf-mta-filters at imc.org mailing list whether such an extension would be 
viable and whether someone is willing to adopt the responsibility to 
write a proper specification.

And then it still needs to be implemented of course... :)

Stephan.
