Yes.

Metacello new
	configuration: 'Seaside3';
	smalltalkhubUser: 'Seaside' project: 'MetacelloConfigurations';
	load: #('OneClick' 'Security' 'Filesystem' 'Email' 'RSS' 'REST').

First, I'd still suggest to use the Configuration, the Baseline settles and might be usable but I have only tried the Configuration.

Then, using ConfigurationOf or BaselineOf classes directly might not result in the desired effect.
Using the Metacello class api directly should be safe.

I think the Metacello class itself is best to start looking around.
