 Yes it's possible. In analysis.cfg you can specify a "status override" to
adjust any existing status colour according to the value of any dataset in
any RRD file. In your case, you could override the "http" status (assuming
you're performing HTTP network tests) when the number of busy workers
exceeds your threshold. Something like this:

HOST=myapacheserver.example.com
    DS http apache.rrd:BW >20 COLOR=yellow TEXT="&V busy workers is greater
than &U"
    DS http apache.rrd:BW >30 COLOR=red TEXT="&V busy workers is greater
than &U"

Refer to the man page for analysis.cfg for more information.
