There's nothing to stop SIP clients doing this. The caller is presented, so it
just needs a lookup to see if there is a ringtone associated with the caller.
The biggest problem is probably the lack of a ringtone field in most standard
addressbook formats. How easy it is to retrofit this to an existing client is
another matter.

This could get fun whey both you and the caller have multiple SIP identities!
I expect one ringtone per identity and some simple precedence rules would be
better than trying to remember a matrix of ringtones.
