Not without modifying the source. Squid 1.1.X can only select mime types
based on file extension listed at compile time, not name. 1.2 uses
regular expressions, and runtime configuration == complete freedom in
selecting mime type.

The relevant part of the 1.1.X source is src/ftpget.c:mime_get_type.

Right after mime_get_type_done: (line 956 in my sources)

  if (!type) {
     if (strncasecmp(filename,"readme",6) == 0)
        type = "text/plain";
  }
