Sure!
When axis.N.jog-enable is true, the motion controller responds to
changes in the value of axis.N.jog-counts by jogging the axis the
distance specified by axis.N.jog-scale.
So you might try something like this:
* Set .jog-scale (on all axes) to +0.001 or -0.001 depending on
whether a plus-direction or minus-direction button is pushed.
* Set .jog-enable true on the one axis corresponding to the jog
button pushed.
* Use an encoder component in counter-mode to make a counter that
increments whenever any of the "jog a fixed amount" buttons is pushed.
Untested! But that's where I would start.
