not to my knowledge

I remember having read this somewhere in the documentation.

quickly searching found me the online tutorial, especially
Sec. 3.3 Modules and Subsystems
and here (some lines below Fig. 3.7):

    Modules whose names have the form SubMod, e.g.,
    TextModels, FormViews, or StdCmds, are stored
    in their respective subsystems given by their name
    prefixes, e.g., Text, Form, or Std. The subsystem
    prefix starts with an uppercase letter and may be
    followed by several other uppercase letters and then
    by several lowercase letters or digits. The first
    uppercase letter afterwards denotes the particular
    module in the subsystem.
    Modules which belong to no subsystem, i.e.,
    modules whose names are not in the form of
    SubMod, are stored in a special subsystem
    called System.

But still missing is any hint about the search path for
all modules of subsystem System. There only the
hint in the "platform specific issues" about how Init
is searched (Step 2 of "Startup of BlackBox").

absolutely. There are also these compilation opptions, which were
somewhen mentioned on this list ...
