Sure. Compare the behaviour of \leftskip and \parshape. IMO, they should be the same.
Well, after thinking a little more about this I'm not so sure. The problem is \parshape is used for two different purposes: (a) fancy paragraphs (a heart, the map of The Netherlands, wrapping some text around a figure, etc.); (b) an alternative to \left/rightskip and \parindent. While mirroring the latter makes sense, mirroring The Netherlands seems a bit odd. I wonder if an alternative could be \parshape dir XXX, like boxes. Javier
