Not this way, but you can accomplish this by having tcpserver call a
wrapper script. For example, if you're currently running
tcpserver 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
you could change it to
tcpserver 0 25 /var/qmail/bin/env-wrapper /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
and have env-wrapper be a short shell script like this:
#!/bin/sh
NEWVAR="something/$TCPLOCALIP/something"
export NEWVAR
exec "$@"
