Not a template, no, but you can assign a service to a hostgroup in a  
service{} definition (hostgroup_name) and members of that hostgroup  
inherit the service. If the 4 services were assigned to the  
'fileservers' hostgroup and your fileservers were members of that  
hostgroup, they would inherit all 4 service checks. This was  
introduced in 3.x
