If you patch it, yes.  But the question is why you'd want to do that
since it apparently weakens security.  Ideally you could talk to your
network admins and figure out why they require single DES in 2006...
However, if all else fails, then yes it would need to be a config option
and likely edited in with gconf-editor.  I'd rather not give it UI since
this is the first I've heard of anyone needing to use it.
