Patrik,

It's not quite the same, but if you are using bash, my tab completion 
script[1] supports "preferences"- values for options that require 
arguments, like --script-args or -g, can be tab-completed from a file in 
~/.nmap. The same mechanism could be hacked to tab-complete common 
groups of arguments, but it wouldn't be portable.
