If your question is "Can we set the relative importance of features for
classification using an OpenNLP interface," I believe the answer is that
there isn't.

But if your question is, "Can we set the relative importance of features
for classification using some means?" then the answer is yes.

You can do it by repeating the feature the required number of times in your
training file.

Eg:  *CLASS2* token1 token2 token3 token4^2 can be written as *CLASS2*
token1 token2 token3 token4 token4

I don't know if this will lead to any performance improvements in the case
of the maxent classification algorithm, but if done right, it could improve
the performance with naive bayes.
