Yes!  Or at least enough to accomplish what you're seeking.

I have the Yamaha CM500 (required bias on) plugged in the rear and the 
Kenwood (MC-60, no bias) desk mic plugged into the front.

I simply switch to the mic desired in the menu, which could also be done 
via macro.  The K3 remembers which needs bias or not, once set.
