No, I don't think you can do that at present. The
manual page for qsub says:

 -k keep Defines which (if either) of standard output
         or standard error will be retained on the
         execution host.  If set for a stream, this
         option overrides the path name for that stream. 

So you can have it spooled directly to $HOME or copied
back at the end of the job to $PBS_O_WORKDIR, but not
spooled directly to $PBS_O_WORKDIR.  

Interestingly that overriding part is not mentioned in
the POSIX spec for qsub here:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/utilities/qsub.html

It's not hard to write a little shell script to let
users monitor the output or error files..

cheers!
