offhand, no - setting LINES and COLUMNS normally overrides the screensize of a curses-based program (slang, too), even if the corresponding numbers are set in the terminfo/termcap. But that may depend on the system - some terminfo entries omit lines/columns to bias the application toward obtaining that information in another way.
