By hands? No, provided that commits to quarter branches do not change API.

See wip/pkg_summary-utils

Idea/example of how to run pbulk for quarter branches (for critical fixes):
- mv /path/to/pkg_src_summary.txt /path/to/pkg_src_summary_prev.txt
- env PSS_SLAVES=+6 pkg_src_summary -f 'PKGNAME PKGPATH' \
       > /path/to/pkg_src_summary.txt
- pkg_cmp_summary -p \
       /path/to/pkg_src_summary_prev.txt /path/to/pkg_src_summary.txt |
- awk '$1 == "<" || $1 == "+" {print $2}' \
       > /path/to/packages_to_be_rebuild.txt
- run pbulk here
  (pbulk.conf:
   limited_list=/path/to/packages_to_be_rebuild.txt
   )

Requirement: commits to quarter branches MUST increase package version.
Otherwise pkg_cmp_summary will not list changed packages.
