Well not really, some gates can do that, but it's not usual. Usually the 
gate "gate" a signal when the same signal is below a threshold.

What you need is a sidechain input. I don't think there is such a plugin 
for LADSPA, a stereo expander with sidechain input could do the job, but 
the SE3 does not exist yet !!
