  No, that is not possible until you know the socket through which the
  message will be sent. The reason is that there are so-called
  "conditional" lumps which say: "Put the IP of the outgoing interface
  here" but they don't contain the IP. You don't know the IP during the 
  script processing.

  One feasible solution is what Juha mentioned, i.e. a set of
  operations that can modify the diffs.
