Sure, there are a lot of ways to do it.
The various Dump{Pre|Post}ShareCmds can take arguments that are passed to
whatever the first argument specifies as the command. While it doesn't
execute it with a shell (to avoid various security issues), it does allow
arguments (simple breaking at white space) and also does substitution of
various dump-specific parameters (eg, $host, $share etc). However, I don't
think there's a variable replacement for the share->path map for that
share, although it would be easy to add.
