You are correct.

The ldp-portable library provides a means for this, the ldp_linux
porting layer does not expose this level of configuration.  It would be fairly
easy to expose these type of configurations.

The best place to do this type of work would be in the ldp_zebra porting
layer.  The configuration support is much more flexible and easier to implement
compared to ldp_linux.
