You could in older versions of cfgmaker.  To make it work in a current
version, I had to use a template:

if (not $problem_lines) { 
$target_lines .= <<ONEINTERFACE
Target[$target_name]: $if_ref:$router_connect
routers.cgi*ShortDesc[$target_name]: $html_if_snmp_alias
MaxBytes[$target_name]: $if_speed
Options[$target_name]: bits
WithPeak[$target_name]: wmy
Title[$target_name]: $html_if_snmp_alias
PageTop[$target_name]: <H1>$html_if_snmp_alias - Traffic </H1>
ONEINTERFACE
;
}
else {
    $head_lines="";
    $problem_lines="";
    $target_lines="";
    $separator_lines="";


I called this with:

/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker --ifref=name --ifdesc=alias
--if-template=bandwidth.temp --output=arouter.cfg public at 1.1.1.1:::::2

I am using routers2.cgi as my rrdtool front-end, thus the routers.cgi*
statement in the template file...
