If you're just talking about writing an extension that loads the TS
and TSconfig values that you usually use, yes it's possible.  A while
back I wrote a fairly crude extension that does just this and posted
it to the wiki [1]. All file names and contents needed to set up the
extension are given, so you just need to create the files and
directories in typo3conf/ext/yourextensionname and install it using
the extension manager. After that, you can save the extension from the
EM as a .t3x file and use it on other sites.
