This sounds more like the tng ...

Samba itself no, but you could re-use code written to allow to open
named pipes over SMB. The question is whether you really need it _over
SMB_ ? I'm not sure whether sql server uses named pipes on this
transport ...

Back to your question though: no, there's neither config param nor api
functions. If you wanted to use the named pipes code from samba, you'd
have to modify it to write your own module.
