I believe the answer to that is no.

It is possible, however to create a custom z/OS Unicode Services table
that matches the CONVXLAT table.  You can even copy the (2) 256-byte
records to make the Unicode Services tables.   Once you have a custom
table (a to->from codepage id plus a "technique"), you can use the
"_ICONV_TECHNIQUE" environment variable to reference it.

FWIW, you might want to look at the Co:Z Toolkit "todsn" / "fromdsn" /
"tofile" / "fromfile" commands.  These support iconv(), z/OS Unicode
services, and single-byte CONVXLAT tables directly.
They also support a bunch of other file/dataset conversion options.
