The man page doesn't suggest so.

FILE FORMAT
       The  file is divided into sections, delimited by "[name]" lines. 
A section name can be either an operating
       system identifier - linux, solaris, hp-ux, aix, freebsd, openbsd,
netbsd, darwin  -  or  a  hostname.  When
       deciding which section to send to a client, Xymon will first look
for a section named after the hostname of
       the client; if such a section does not exist, it will look for a
section named by the operating  system  of
       the client. So you can configure special configurations for
individual hosts, and have a default configura-
       tion for all other hosts of a certain type.
