Only on networks where there identifiably *is* a nick server (if a malicious user joins a network that doesn't have a nickserv and calls themselves nickserv, you don't want to send *them* your password!), which brings us back to the problem of identifying which network you're on. If Konversation has code for this, perhaps it could be adapted.
