They can, using mode=wait and the 'opponent' variable.
With little work, it would be possible to make e.g. a web-based
challenging system where you could choose challengers in a more
controlled way than KGS offers. kgsGtp would terminate after each game
and be restarted with a newly generated config file with the appropriate
opponent settings. It's just a matter of spending time on it. I didn't
feel the incentive since Pachi is not so strong yet. ;-)

The goal of Computer Science is to build something that will
last at least until we've finished building it.
