Not currently, although I've been thinking of adding an amanda.conf
entry along the lines of "rm_holding_file" that would be a callout to
a program to actually remove the file.  The default would be "rm" but
you could replace it with whatever you wanted.

I posted a hack to unlink_holding_files() in holding.c back in May,
2001 (how time flies :-) that might also work for you.  Look for message
#29540 ("How to tell Amanda to keep the latest full+incremental on the
holding disk").
