Yes, but not through the expected property editor route.
You have to first write in the member declaration section:

  Border loweredBevelBorder = BorderFactory.BevelBorder(BevelBorder.LOWERED);  
  Border raisedBevelBorder = BorderFactory.BevelBorder(BevelBorder.RAISED);

and so on, for the types of borders you would like to see in
the Border popup.  Someone was putting together a custom property
editor for Border, but never got back to the group with the finished
result.  

This same technique works for many of the Swing component properties
which show <none> in the drop-down list.
