Hmm... here I finally realize maybe I'm talking about something
completely different.  I was thinking of special-display-buffer-names
rather than display-buffer-names.  I.e. I was thinking of a setting like

  (setq special-display-buffer-names
        '((ediff (same-frame . t))))
        
Which would make the (same-frame . t) apply to all display-buffer calls
that specify `ediff-a' or `ediff-b' or `ediff-ancestor', ...
