No it wouldn't. You could have a template like
{{factdate|date=somedate}} whcih puts the article in a
"Category:Unsourced statements from {{{date}}}". If we want to be sure
that this works we could have a template which you subst in that is
replaced with {{factdate|date={{{subst:CURRENTDATE}}}}} (or whatever
the name of the variable is).

This is certainly technically feasible without having to subst the
entire template in (which would make it much harder to edit some
articles).
