Yes Its possible.

You have to define a customized stylesheet.

I am using Modular DocBook StyleSheets, so my example will be for it.

Under the directory that contains your print stylesheets create a file like
these:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN" [
<!ENTITY docbook.dsl PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DOCUMENT DocBook Print
Stylesheet//EN" CDATA DSSSL>
]>

<style-sheet>
<style-specification use="docbook">
<style-specification-body>

;;
;; This file is part of the Modular DocBook Stylesheet distribution.
;; See ../README or http://www.berkshire.net/~norm/dsssl/
;;
;; Example of a customization layer on top of the modular docbook style
;; sheet.  Definitions inserted in this file take precedence over 
;; definitions in the 'use'd stylesheet(s).

(define %default-quadding%   
  ;; The default quadding
  'justify)

</style-specification-body>
</style-specification>

<external-specification id="docbook" document="docbook.dsl">

</style-sheet>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Them, You could use:

#jade -t rtf -d your_customized_stylesheet.dsl foo.sgml

You could also read, 

http://nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/doc/print/default-quadding.html

It will explain in more details.

If you have any doubts you could send me an email.
