Yes.

(Note though, that this may not be true on all OSes. And this
also won't be true when using proxy_bind, as OS will have to
choose a local port before the destination address is known.)

The blog post as linked by Maxim Konovalov uses the split_clients
module, it's not nginx-plus specific. See here for details:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_split_clients_module.html

Depending on your particular case, there may be even easier
solutions. E.g., if you have two URIs in your application with
more or less equal load, you can use two locations with distinct
addresses configured statically:

location /one {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_bind 127.0.0.2;
}

location /two {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_bind 127.0.0.3;
}
