There is no hfaxd protocol option (JPARM) to specify these 
configurations.  So, no, not with sendfax.

However, you could do some creative work to have a faxsend-wrapper 
deduce this information based on the job owner and alter the setting 
with the "-c" option.

If you're doing receiving, however, it's impossible what company name 
to "present" to the sender when answering without DID.

Ideally you'd have two modems and two lines.  If you're trying to save 
money then you'll need to figure out ways to share lines and/or 
hardware just like you're doing now.
