Yes, in fact there is. In a nutshell: run Bro with checkpoint.bro.
Then, if you want to change something, edit the config and start Bro
with option -g. The new instance will dump its config into
.state/config.bst and exit. Then you can copy config.bst into the
running Bro's .state directory and it will pick it up.
Caveat: This is still experimental; I don't think that many people
have played with it yet...

Not sure. I think there are plans for supporting script-level
input/output eventually, but I don't know if anybody is already
working on it.
