sure:

def character_type(length):
    return VARCHAR(length).with_variant(
                VARCHAR(length, collation='utf8_general_ci'), 'mysql'
            ).with_variant(
                VARCHAR(length, collation='NOCASE'), 'sqlite'
            )


Table("sometable", metadata,
    Column("some_text", character_type(200))
)
