no.
duplicity deals with "dumb" backends and solely uses them for file storage. for
this design to create a synthetic full you would have to transfer the whole
data over the line again anyway completely.
however, it'd be possible to implement that for the rare cases that users have
shell access to their backends and can have a duplicity instance running
locally there.
