Nope.  The problem is the following prose after the 4-point algorithm
explaining how 'min-width' influences 'width':

  "The user agent may define a non-negative minimum value for the
   'min-width' property, **which may vary from element to element and
   even depend on other properties**. If 'min-width' goes below this
   limit, either because it was set explicitly, or because it was 'auto'
   and the rules below would make it too small, the user agent may use
   the minimum value as the computed value."

(emphasis mine).  I do not see how that behavior can be achieved with a
UA stylesheet declaration.
