No, not through the export dialog, the "Crop" module should help here, though.

3000/2434 = 1.23
4263/3459 = 1.23
2400/1947 = 1.23
10"/8"        = 1.25...

Two problems:
1 - Your image has a different aspect ratio than your paper (1.23 vs 1.25). 
Darktable chooses to keep the aspect ratio of the image, while fitting it 
within the specified rectangle. Of, course, darktable could stretch/shrink the 
image to fit, I suppose...

2 - in your first attempt, you swapped the width and height: darktable expects 
the output format as 'width x height', so for your case '3000 x 2400', you 
asked for '2400 x 3000' output. (see the mouse-over popups)
