No, you can't do this. The rule is that you cannot use any pieces of Django itself in your settings file (and ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES is a setting). This is because Django relies on using your settings, so there's almost always a chicken-and-egg sort of problem. In this case, reverse() depends on knowing about your URL configuration. But that is specified by the ROOT_URLCONF setting (and possibly some other settings), so reverse() requires the settings to be fully loaded, leading to an obvious catch-22.
