Not in any nice way no, the enforcer will only kick off the signer if it sees 
that the signconf has changed however.

If you _really_ want to do this then you could alter the define of 
SIGNER_CLI_UPDATE in config.h. I couldn't recommend doing that though.

You could also run the enforcer at roughly the signature validity interval, so 
that you would need to resign then anyway?
