Yes, but it might be a while.  I have some ideas for how it could work
-- a Nix configuration file could be supplemented by an imported JSON
(or similar) file managed by a graphical tool.  This would mean that,
even when it wasn't up to some complex task like a package override, a
graphical tool could be used for managing the simple cases.

Such a tool would also be immediately useful for NixOS, so even
non-Spectrum users could benefit from it.  It might even mean somebody
not even involved in Spectrum might develop it!
