Yes.

We can do that by enclosing the database field of pg_hba.conf in double
quotes as follows.
   TYPE   DATABASE        USER  CIDR-ADDRESS  METHOD   host   "replication"   foo   192.168.0.5   md5

In pg_hba.conf, double-quoted keyword like "all", "sameuser", "samerole"
or "replication" matches a database with that name.
