No, that's not how SVG animations are made. SVG animations are made by hand-editing the SVG file to include <animate> nodes or using scripting languages to manipulate the DOM. It's possible to create a rendered result of these with a tool like SVGani. (for an example of animated SVG, see http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/Soccer_ball_animated.svg )

What you're referring to is known as keyframed animation, and easy enough (and even faster!) to do with multiple layers that change throughout an animation. Label them and toggle their visiblity per each export you make.
