Not as far as I can tell.  sensible-browser uses $BROWSER, falls back to
x-www-browser or www-browser in an x-terminal-emulator if $DISPLAY, and falls
back to www-browser if not $DISPLAY.  I see no functionality to fall back to a
pager under any circumstances.  Furthermore, even if such functionality
existed, it would open the HTML generated by apt-listchanges in a pager,
rather than the usual apt-listchanges pager output.
