Not to my knowledge.

AFAIR -p was only added in gbde for testing purposes, i.e. creating
filesystems for testing and debugging but without making the developer
type in some passphrase all the time.

This is the reason I wanted to be able to pipe a passphrase to geli. I
could use geli in a script and could attach several providers without
having to retype the passphrase five times.
