Yes, this should be possible.

Try a profile definition like...

<profiles>
  <profile id="myprofile">
  	<package package-id="firefox" />
  	<variable name="MAXBANDWITH" value="10k" /></profile>
</profiles>


Then use a package like


<packages>
	<package name="" id="" installdate="2007-11-23T22:00:00">
		<variable name="" value="" lcid="asdf" />
		<download target="sdfas" url="" timeout="" />
		<check>check</check>
		<install cmd="wget --limit-rate=%MAXBANDWITH% ..."></install>
	</package>
</packages>

This should allow you to use different bandwith limitations for each
profile.
