The short answer is, sadly, no.
The longer answer is (as I'm sure you're aware) yes if you wrap the call to nedit in a shell script. The script would need to look at the head of the file you're trying to open for information concerning settings. You could then spit this information out to a file and use the "--import" option to load those settings into nedit.
Hope this helps a little.
