No, but it'd be a nice suggestion.

You can kinda sorta do this.  Create a cemetary and a refuse stockiple on the edge of your fortress that accepts only remains and body parts near where you want the corpses dumped, on the other side of the dump from the stone pit. something like this:

code:
ccc.........sss
ccc.........sss
ccc.........sss
....cp...sp....
rrr............
rrr............
rrr............


ccc - cemetary (dwarf/pet corpses)
rrr - refuse stockpile (other corpses)
sss - stone source/stockpile
cp  - corpse pit
sp  - stone pit


After corpses are dragged off you can dump them, and the closest dump is the corpse pit.  When stones or other items are dumped the stone pit is closer so they wind up there.

You'd think handing out the crossbows to brain damaged dwarfs would be a bad idea but it isn't
