Strangely, there seems to be more requests to do this sort of thing.  Take a 
look at http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34643.

It's possible to bounce the Connector using JMX (which probably isn't good 
enough, since it bounces already-connected sessions as well).  Otherwise, 
no, Tomcat currently initializes the TrustStore on startup, and won't 
re-initialize it afterwards.

As always, patches are always welcome :).
