You can get non-disc 135mm hubs.
And to answer your original question there are loads of wheels with a rim brake and a disc hub, from the period of time when MTBs were switching over from rim to disc, and more recently tourers/tandems often do it as well. See for example the Surly Ogre:
So there's no reason you can't do it aside from the extra weight in the hub or rim (depending on which set of brakes you use).
If I were you I'd get disc hubs and rim brake rims; you have the option of switching to discs without rebuilding the wheel for only a small weight penalty. Or you might decide to move the wheels to a disc brake bike when you upgrade, etc.

Want to run cantilever but the hub spacing is 135mm. Standard road spacing is 130mm. I need disc hubs with rim brake rims.
