Yes. See my bug report #1004 in the bug list on how to 
do that with spawnvpe. execvpe should work along the
same line.

Why not? Try something like this:
1) Put phobos.lib into @P/../lib/phobos/
   put tango into @P/../lib/tango/ (but as phobos.lib)
2) nuke the lib line from your sc.ini
3) in dmd-phobos add
 LIB="@P/../lib/phobos";"%@P%\..\lib";"%@P%\..\mfc\lib";%LIB%
to the environment and exec dmd with the whole command line
4) in dmd-tango do the same, just change the location.

Should work (tm), but then again, I did not try :-)
