Yes and no.  In the 4.4-era releases, no, not at all.

In the 4.6 beta, you can by configuring the templates dir in 
xdg-user-dirs (google that).  But you have to set the templates dir for 
all users -- I guess a default config in /etc/skel would work for that.

But note that this won't let you have a system dir and user dir for 
templates that get merged -- you can only have one dir for templates.
