No, but cpp or m4 can, ahhh..heck... just use unifdef:

unifdef -DNOUUCP <BSD.root.dist | mtree -deU -f - -p ${DESTDIR}/root
unifdef -DNOUUCP <BSD.usr.dist | mtree -deU -f - -p ${DESTDIR}/usr
...

Then you can sprinkle #ifdef/#ifndef/#else/#endif around what
should/should not be needed, ie:

#ifndef NOUUCP
        uucp            uname=uucp gname=uucp mode=0770
        ..
#endif

Agreed... and rather then add yet another feature to mtree use the
small but eligant tools already provided.
