no.

Even the concept of the storage space used up "by one host" is difficult to
define. Due to pooling, a file found on N hosts in M locations during O backups
is only stored once - how much of the storage space is allocated to each host?
How much computing power do you want to put into finding that out? When doing
a new backup, do you want to disallow creation of a new reference to a file
already existing in the pool (i.e. requiring no new space), because the
storage space accounted to this host would exceed its quota? Do you want
quotas to apply before or after pooling and/or compression? Do you even really
want quotas, or are you just trying to prevent mistakes from filling up your
pool? (Actually, that might even be a neat feature request - abort a backup
if it exceeds $Conf{BackupMaxSize} (definable per host or even per share).)

Your usage case may (possibly) not have any content shared between hosts, but
the concept of BackupPC does, so any solution would have to work for the
general case.

And you don't get the benefit of pooling between the pools.
