Not with Porcelain, but "read-tree -m <ancestor> <ours> <theirs>" should give you something close to it. "merge-recursive" is probably beyond salvaging and coaxing --cached option (i.e. tell a command that usually works both on the index and on the working tree to only work on the index) into it would be too messy to think about. Restructuring it so that it first computes the end result only in the index and then optionally allows it to check out to the working tree has been something I've wanted to do for a long time, but there is only limited amount of time in a day and the list is never dormant, so...
