No you can't, because it's a font switch and needs grouping! They are
defined as:

\definefont [frak] [Fraktur     sa \currentfontscale]
\definefont [goth] [Gothic      sa \currentfontscale]
\definefont [cal]  [Caligraphic sa \currentfontscale]

So by adapting file mappings you can have different ones.

\def\fraktur    #1{\ifmmode\hbox\fi{\frak#1}}
\def\gothic     #1{\ifmmode\hbox\fi{\goth#1}}
\def\caligraphic#1{\ifmmode\hbox\fi{\cal #1}}

will do what you want. I can add those if needed/wanted/agreed upon.

\definefontsynonym [MathRoman]          [RalfSmith...]
\definefontsynonym [MathExtension]      [...]
\definefontsynonym [MathItalic]         [...]
\definefontsynonym [MathSymbol]         [...]

\definebodyfont
  [14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt]
  [mm]
  [default]

Or something like that,
