No, there is no client-side way to throttle the number of 
simultaneous active backup jobs for that client.

the closest you can come to this is the ability to limit the number 
of active jobs per client, but this is controlled centrally on the 
master and is tied to the NetBackup client name. (so it's not going 
to take your virtual servers into account without some manual 
administration)  If you want to use this, you can modify this 
max-jobs-per-client value via the "Host Properties" node of the GUI. 
(or using the bpclient command, for the CLI junkies out there :-)
