No, the protocol does not include a way to transmit more than the
terminal type ($TERM).

Changing SSH protocol 1is out of the question, but perhaps another
version of "pty-req" that transfers environment variables could be
possible. I doubt that this would happen soon.

Doing this right would be tricky - the ability to set arbitrary
environment variables would have security implications (e.g. setting
LD_PRELOAD before a restricted shell is executed).
