No.
You will have to edit the nginx.conf file, and this could, in theory,
cause you to need to merge new versions of the nginx.conf file on
release upgrades.
Basically, any section of the nginx.conf file can be split out into
its own separate file, and replaced with an "include" directive in
the main file.
So, copy the "events" block from nginx.conf into your own file with
whatever name you like, and then replace that block with
"include /etc/nginx/yourfile;" in nginx.conf.
Now you can edit yourfile however often you like without needing to
touch nginx.conf any more, at least until a release upgrade.
