In short, no.

There are lots of possible ways, and most of them have been tried somewhere by someone on some hardware design or other.

Most of the synths I've tried that have this feature *don't* allow control over the fade-in time. It's just set up to some reasonable median. Korg Polysix, for example. This uses a single LFO for all the voices, and keys pressed after the LFO has come on get the LFO straight away. That's just one example. Perhaps they'd have implemented separate per-voice VCAs for the single LFO if they'd had a bit more budget.
