No, there is no similar environment variable to override type selection. If you don't need full content negotiation -- that is, you are able to boil your selection algorithm down to a few simple rules and you don't need to worry about preference priorities, etc -- then you can use mod_rewrite to do this based on the Accept header and the cookie.
