Not currently - only option is to catch the core as it happens in a debugger.

In Solaris 8, though, there's (hopefully going to be) a command that allows you 
to set a corefile naming pattern to, say, core.<exec-name>.<pid> so they all 
stack up next to each other, rather than over each other.

Bloody useful.
