It is available since 2013.01.11 Version 0.9.6 (Unstable) release, with localAddress option.

var options = {
  hostname: 'www.google.fr',
  localAddress: '192.168.0.2',
};

var req = http.get(options, function(res) {
  console.log('STATUS: ' + res.statusCode);
  console.log('HEADERS: ' + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
}).on('error', function(e) {
  console.log("Got error: " + e.message);
});

it seems at the moment the only solution is to use _createServerHandle function

var s = new net.Socket({ handle: 
net._createServerHandle(localAddress) }); 
s.connect(port, host, cb);

see this thread on mailing list.
