Kind of...

Have separate CFs each named Customer and apply each to their
respective queue. Then populate those CFs with the values you'd like.

We do this with a CF named 'Problem Type'. We put the queue name in
the Description field of the CF so we can get a sense of what queue
the CF is applied to when viewing the CF details.

The CFs won't be global, but they'll each have the same name, so code
that is queue specific will load the correct Customer CF and thus the
correct values for the CF.

The other solutions for this problem involve more JS and AJAXy code.
