But would the *server* be able to use the keys on a PKCS#11 device (that does not let the private keys out)?

Client does it fine, I know.

ok, sorry, I did not understand the question.
Have you looked into HostKeyAgent at sshd_config?
I've never tried this, but should work if you load PKCS#11 keys into the agent.
