I have various differentes subdomains pointing to same directory/application in my apache 2.2.

Like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName subdomain1.domain.com.br
ServerAdmin
DocumentRoot /var/www/application
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName subdomain2.domain.com.br
ServerAdmin
DocumentRoot /var/www/application
</VirtualHost>

The problem is to configure apache every subdomain is added in DNS Server.

Its possible to have only one virtualhost, representing all subdomains ?

Something like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName *.domain.com.br
ServerAdmin
DocumentRoot /var/www/application
</VirtualHost>

Yes it is possible, but in the article VirtualHost Examples is no mentioned syntax like ServerName *.domain.com.br. In this case you have to use ServerAlias directive, and the VirtualHost configuration should be something like this:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName domain.com.br ServerAlias *.domain.com.br ServerAdmin DocumentRoot /var/www/application
</VirtualHost>

Please note that the directive ServerAlias can be used only in the virtual host context.

I think in the case when all of your sub-domains points to one DocumentRoot folder, if you set ServerName in server context the result will be almost the same:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName domain.com.br ServerAlias *.domain.com.br ServerAdmin DocumentRoot /var/www/application</VirtualHost>

In this case you must enter in /etc/hosts following:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx domain.com.br

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your server's IP address.
