yes.  See, for example, mail/imap-uw/Makefile which has

# reduce optimization level on alpha to avoid compiler bugs
.if ${OPSYS} == "NetBSD"
.  if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "alpha"
CPPFLAGS:=      ${CPPFLAGS:C/-O[0-9]*/-O/g}
CFLAGS:=        ${CFLAGS:C/-O[0-9]*/-O/g}
CONFIGURE_ENV+= CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS}"
CONFIGURE_ENV+= CFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
.  endif
.endif

pkgsrc/doc/HACKS lists more examples.
