No, not currently.  I'm debating whether it's a good idea to add such
a flag or to expand the preferences system a bit more so that the
source of each preference is definable.

The sample problem listed in the original message could be solve by
marking some preferences as being stored in an SQL database
(persistent) and some preferences as being stored using the Session
preference driver (persistent only for the life of the session).
