[Mooney, Sean K] if you can use heat you can use the server anti affinity filter
To create a server group per port-pair group and ensure that two instance of the same
port-pair-group do not reside on the same server. You could also use heat's/senlin's
Scaling groups to define the insantce count of each SF in the chain. 
There was a presentation on this in Barcelona

But as jay says below it depends on what you are trying to solve.
If you are trying to model ha constraints for a service chain the above may
Help however it is likely outside the scope of nova/placement api to support this directly.
