I don't think so. The wpa_supplicant instance that NM runs gets
configured through D-Bus from the data you feed into nm-applet. When
you run wpa_supplicant on a terminal you specify a config file. For
instance, I use:

$ sudo wpa_supplicant -c$HOME/eduroam.conf -iwlan0 -Dwext -Bw

You should install the latest version[1] which might already be on the
updates repository.
