Not very convenient, since you'd have to do a separate replace operation for every pitch. You could probably do it with an editor which supported selection expressions like MPW shell, and I'm sure the unix guys will have a way of doing it. >However there is nothing in the ABC spec that says the result needs >to represent the same pitch.

No, it doesn't cater for more than twelve pitches per octave. Of course you could probably cobble together something for a particular piece by co-opting one of the unused pitches and re-tuning it, but there's no general solution for that.
