Yes its possible, you can read it on http://www.splunk.com/support/forum:SplunkAdministration/3994
You have to edit the props and transforms (on receive) like :
props.conf
[host::devhost*]
TRANSFORMS-dev = IndexIs-dev
[host::prodhost*]
TRANSFORMS-prod = IndexIs-prod
transforms.conf
[IndexIs-dev]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = dev
[IndexIs-prod]
REGEX = .
DEST_KEY = _MetaData:Index
FORMAT = prod
