Probably not, but I have used it this way myself in the past.


Looking at the options available for a gnetlistrc file, (See your
$PREFIX/share/gEDA/system-gnetlistrc file for good description of the
available options), I also see there is:


; hierarchy-netattrib-mangle string
;
; Controls if net created by using the net= attribute are renamed to make 
; them uniq when traversing down into the hierarchy.  If this is disabled 
; then the net= created nets are not changed.  This feature is handy to have
; global nets which spawn the entire hierarchy (like power or ground nets). 
; Please make sure you know what you are doing.
;
(hierarchy-netattrib-mangle "enabled")
;(hierarchy-netattrib-mangle "disabled")


Which, if you understand what it is doing, might allow you to make power
nets global without affecting all other net-names assigned with the
"netname=..." attribute.
