In very special cases, yes.

Why?
If few states differ in voltage but not frequency, the only
user-visible thing is different latency of enter/exit.
If you only have two voltages per frequency (as it was shown in
examples here)... just add 1Hz to make difference between the two.
...but I guess you should teach cpufreq's ondemand governor to deal
with different latencies for different voltages. Before that is done
and shown to have significant power-saving impact, userspace interface
debate is useless.
