no.

you might want to start a sshd with a different hostkey

or with just one hostkeys.

remember that the primary use of hostkeys is _server_ authentication.

i agree that switching from the default hostkey makes hostbased
authentication hard, but there's no easy way to fix this and 
hostbased is not the primary method.
