Not as it is.

But senders addresses are in spam faked. MTA domain
could be an useful whitelisting criteria.
There is a famous script by Bob Beck called "greyscanner"
that parses the spamdb database and traps hosts that
are on the grey list. That script calls "spamdb -t -a ..."
but could maybe be modified to also whitelist
MTA hosts based on their HELO name (after checking
reverse DNS lookup).

Otherwise a common solution is to have another pf table
in addition to spamd-white (I called it spamd-gold) to
give permanent whitelisting based on IP address by
pf rules such as:
  table <spamd-gold> persist file "/etc/mail/spamd-gold"
  :
  no rdr inet proto tcp from <spamd-gold> to any port smtp

And then manually add your friendly IP ranges...
