I believe that it can, but it requires brand new RRD files.  So you
will either have to either wipe out your current historical data, or
manually export and import the data.

In gmetad.conf, there should be a few lines that should look similar to these :

# RRAs "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:244" "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:244"
"RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:168:244" \
#      "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:672:244"  "RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:5760:374"

Just change AVERAGE to LAST.  However, using LAST may also give you
results that you don't expect for metrics that measure rates, as
opposed to specific values (network transfer rates, for example).

One last subtle point:  the RRAs line I mentioned above only applies
to new RRD files.  So you could remove only the RRD files that you
want to use LAST, let gmetad create them, then change the setting back
to AVERAGE.  I think that will work.
