I say no, since -* is mainly for killing off auto-use crap and profiles.
Note that explicitly disabling a flag (-client fex) would disable the default use there; question is whether or not some form of -* should exist for default IUSE; the existing -* is profile/autouse specific, and sholdn't be reused for disabling default IUSE imo. yay/nay? ~harring
