Unfortunately, no.

Right now mod_nss relies on the built-in NSS OCSP client which is 
relatively feature-poor. I had worked on curl integration at one point 
long ago but never got it to to a point where I was satisfied with its 
quality. I can see about reviving this code, if I can find it, to see 
what state it is in, perhaps as an experimental feature.
