No.

I feel like fredj wrote a patch that would allow you to create different
cache directories based on a specific parameter in the URL. However, I
don't remember ever integrating it, so there's a good chance that it got
lost in mailing list traffic. I would say that this would be the place
to look -- either in the code or in the mailing list for such a thing.
(Perhaps fredj can find it more easily, if he's listening.)
