No, it is possible, but you would need to implement the notification mechanism yourself using a Network Kernel Extension or UNIX ipfw. There's no built-in user interface or API to turn on notification when accessing a target network.
My own IPNetSentryX for example uses an NKE to detect these kinds of events and could launch an AppleScript. If the need is great, it can be made to work, but there's no simple low cost solution.
