Yes, you can:

<http://code.activestate.com/recipes/578692-qgis-startup-script-change-display-of-coordinates/>

Rename it to startup.py and save it to C:/users/username/.qgis2/python 
(not .qgis as mentioned in the text).

I got that working, but you will get nasty errors if you leave QGIS 
while the CRS is set to some local system.

Deleting the \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QGIS\QGIS2\CoordsConf entry in 
the registry solved the problem. I'm not sure how to clear that for 
other OS.

HTH,
