does not seem supported, but you can have multiple config files if that helps:
$ dosbox --help
Usage: dosbox [OPTION]... [FILE]
These are common options:
  -h, --help          Displays this message.
  --printconf         Prints the location of the default configuration file.
  --editconf          Open the default configuration file in a text editor.
  -c <command>        Runs the specified DOS command before running FILE.
                      Multiple commands can be specified.
  -conf <configfile>  Start dosbox with the options specified in <configfile>.
                      Multiple configfiles can be present at the commandline.
  -userconf           Load the configuration file located in
                      ~/.config/dosbox. Can be combined with the -conf
                      option.
  -fullscreen         Start dosbox in fullscreen mode.
  -lang <langfile>    Start dosbox with the language specified in
                      <langfile>.
  -machine <type>     Setup dosbox to emulate a specific type of machine.
                      The machine type has influence on both the videocard
                      and the emulated soundcards.  Valid choices are:
                      hercules, cga, cga_mono, tandy, pcjr, ega, vgaonly,
                      svga_s3 (default), svga_et3000, svga_et4000,
                      svga_paradise, vesa_nolfb, vesa_oldvbe.
  -exit               Dosbox will close itself when the DOS program
                      specified by FILE ends.
  -v, --version       Output version information and exit.
You can find full list of options in the man page: dosbox(1)
