Both yes and no.

* 2.7 and 3.1 both support the include feature.
* They also share many configuration options which are unchanged.
* Three are options that are automatically 'upgraded' to the 3.1 syntax
when read by 3.1.
* There are the options which you really don't need to configure and can
ignore.

So... by pruning out the options which are fatal to one particular
version, you can fairly easily create a squid.conf-2 and squid.conf-3 and a
subdirectory with shared bits included by those. The same way as modern
multi-instance Squid are setup now.
