No, there's no such option, and I don't want to add it either. However there 
are several ways to achieve it. For instance, you can select (in select tool 
mode) the content of one or a few representative pages using Tools > Select 
Content (if something is already selected this will only extent the selection). 
Then choose Tools > Crop.

You can also use AppleScript to crop in any custom way. But that requires some 
knowledge of AppleScript.
