Yes.  You can export SHELL and CONFIG_SHELL before invoking configure to the 
same effect.

I tend to prefer putting them on the configure command line, though, because 
then they show up in config.log (i.e., the log of everything that configure 
did).  If you put them in the environment (vs. the command line), the 
config.log is potentially missing some important information about the 
configuration.

But it's just a personal preferance.
