No, it's not possible.

Two problems come to mind immediately: the layering of emc doesn't
presently permit anything but a gcode from changing gcode parameters.
second, what about readahead?  the interpreter interprets the file as
far in advance as it can, so that the greatest number of movements can
be available to the realtime motion controller.  Would you stop
readahead at any use of a parameter?
