Not that I know of.  You could increase "installonly_limit" in dnf.conf 
to a large number, and remove kernels manually rather than 
automatically.  Or you could create a new empty dummy package that 
Requires: the kernel-version that you want to keep, and add that package 
to /etc/dnf/protected.d/.
