No. Guests can send out packets from their interface using any IP
address they want. By convention it's normally set up so that guests
get an IP address from a DHCP server, but that's only a convention, not
required. Imagine rephrasing the question as "Can I get the IP address
of each machine on my LAN?".
Actually, if I'd thought about that a bit more, I might have said: look
in your local ARP table, and compare the MAC addresses with the ones in
the libvirt domain XML.
It's still true to say that there isn't necessarily a fixed 1-1
relationship between guests' network cards and IP addresses.
