I don't think so, but instead of putting something like that in each
application's configuration file, you can put it in a script,
i.e. /usr/local/bin/editor or ~/bin/editor
%<=================================
!/bin/sh
editor="jed"
serverrunning="`ps -u ${USER} | grep emacsserver`"
if [ "${serverrunning}" != "" ] ; then
editor="emacsclient"
fi
exec ${editor} $@
%<================================
and setenv (or export) EDITOR editor will take care of most things, and
specifying "editor" in the app's config file will take care of the rest.

Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the
grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin
charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what
they say if they had. - Linus Torvalds (announcing Linux v2.0)
