Yes, with cvpcb for the added libraries

I think it is not possible for a module but for all the design. In pcbnew 
Dimensions->Tracks and via sizes

dimensions->Tracks and via sizes (again).
I think there is only one distance from "something" to "someting_else" but 
zone to anything_else which can be set on making the zone.
