Yes. The swap.fun script is very old, but it is able to use /etc/rc/auto_swap,
that is recent. It try to swap in a convenient variety of way:
try_with_linux_swap || try_with_startup || try_with_root ||\
try_with_media || try_with_primary || return 1
Example: an UMSDOS installation try to swap in a file in the same disk.
Anyway, "try_with_linux_swap" is in the highest priority.
