Sort of. Mod_tile does have an internal white-list where you can add
ip-addresses that are excluded from the tile throttling.

However, currently there isn't a way to configure this list. Neither the
apache configuration directives, nor (miss)using the renderd.conf to
configure this would have been ideal. So the only way at the moment to
add a client to this list is by adding it in the source code and
re-compiling mod_tile.

If people have suggestions of how best to add this configuration
mechanism, it would likely not be too much effort to add this "feature"

P.S. in case you want to exclude (reverse) proxy servers, mod_tile can
be configured to use the X-forwarded-for ip rather than the one actually
contacting mod_tile.
