No, you cannot.

The way around this is to use host "classes". The default class for a
host is the name of the operating system - that's why the "[linux]" and
"[hpux]" etc. sections work. You can change the class of a host either
by configuring it with the CLASS:classname setting in bb-hosts, or by 
specifying the class on the client when you start the Hobbit client.

It is a bit annoying that you cannot use regexp's in client-local.cfg.
Might be something I change.
