No, it would effectively do the same as mate (i.e. sending the  
filename to TextMate).

There basically is no way you can currently do what you want -- but  
since ‘sudo mate’ is (by several users) expected to transfer the  
super user privileges to TextMate (for just that file), I will look  
into how this could possibly be pulled off sometime in the future (it  
would be a nice little feature).
