Nope.  The easiest way is to override the defaults in the default list.
For example, to override XtNborderWidth add the default to your 
resource list:

	{ XtNborderWidth,
	  XtCBorderWidth,
	  XtRDimension,
	  sizeof(Dimension),
	  XtOffset(MyWidgetClass, core.border_width),
	  XtRImmediate,
	  (caddr_t) 25,
	},

You can do that other stuff if you're careful, but I can't take the
time to explain all of the gory details right now, and with the above
solution, why bother?
