Probably not. There are some options that the common fetch code looks
at, but they're not configurable globally and I don't think the right
ones for scp are there. Relevant code if you're interested:

<https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/src/package1.0/portarchivefetch.tcl#L159>
<https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/src/pextlib1.0/curl.c#L114>
