Not really, no. You could put it in an autoexec.cfg if you want it to start at a certain difficulty, but people can still vote it away. Setting z_difficulty in the server.cfg does cause the mapchange problem since server.cfg is executed on every map load.
If you let the Lobby System do the leg work (like you should, private or Group Exclusive servers included), there is no reason to set z_difficulty.
