802.1q Tag VLANs on single WiFi SSID

Is it possible to have a single SSID that passes multiple VLANs? (One native/untagged + 1 or more tagged VLANs)

Scenario: I'm running virtual machines for a portable lab on my laptop, sometimes I need to connect a VM to a specific VLAN (DMZ, Test, etc.). Currently I do this by connecting wired to a trunk/tagged port. Sometimes this isn't convenient as I'm in a conference room or far from a network drop, so I was wondering if there's any way to create an SSID that would pass as a wireless "trunk" port.

Edit: while still keeping the host laptop in the regular client access WiFi VLAN.
