Yes, and it all spelled out in section 6 (clefs) of the standard. [K:bass middle=D] will achieve exactly what you want.
The standard says:
"middle=<pitch> is an alternate way to define the line number of the clef. The pitch indicates what note is displayed on the 3rd line of the staff."
I believe this description is not correct/clear. For example [K:bass middle=d] does NOT mean that the note displayed on the 3rd line on a staff with a bass clef is d. After all, this still note still represents D, (if no "transpose" is used). It just means that in the abc code the user may notate this "D," using "d".
The description should therefore be changed to something like:
"The pitch indicates what notation is used for the note that is displayed on the third line of the staff."
Maybe someone who's native language is English can come up with a better formulation.
How would you interpret:
V:1 clef=bass middle=c
or (perversely)
K:Cmaj clef=bass middle=^c
