Sorry, no. Note that --send-command is a made-up option.
On the other hand, --sendmail-command is a very real option

Yes, but --sendmail-command expects a sendmail(8) compatible interface
(e.g. -oi -t), whereas my imaginary --send-command expects a shell
command into which the various values (%t for To, %s for Subject, %a for
a file containing the patch attachment) are substituted.
As MUAs like thunderbird and mutt do not provide a sendmail-compatible
interface, --sendmail-command is not appropriate for people who (ab)use
their MUA as their only means of relaying mail to a smarthost.
Note that darcs --sendmail-command actually does what your
--send-command option intends. From the manual:
--sendmail-command
If you want to use a command different from the default one
for sending email, you need to specify a command line with
the --sendmail-command option. The command line can contain
some format specifiers which are replaced by the actual values.
Accepted format specifiers are %s for subject, %t for to, %c for
cc, %b for the body of the mail, %f for from, %a for the patch
bundle and the same specifiers in uppercase for the URL-encoded
values. Additionally you can add %< to the end of the command
line if the command expects the complete email message on
standard input. E.g. the command lines for evolution and msmtp
look like this:
evolution "mailto:%T?subject=%S&attach=%A&cc=%C&body=%B";
msmtp -t %<
IIRC, that evolution example in the manual _almost worked_ for
Thunderbird (IIRC, I believe it was that Thunderbird didn't pay
attention to &attach=...). Maybe someone should put together a Wiki page
of common recipes for MUA command line options.
