It is of course possible to model a varying pitch spring. Although you want to make a single spring, consider it as if you are joining together several springs of different pitch, each of only one pitch. In other words, make a helix thats right for the pitch of the first section, and then either: loft along it and then make a second helix (with appropriate pitch) for the second section starting at the end of the first - amd so on, or, make all the (different pitched) helixes first and loft along them all in one go.
If you meant a parametric model of a spring in which different pitches could be set (like configurations) then that too is also possible.
