Not really.  The concept of pre-defined settings for recording rules has 
been discussed, but no one has submitted any code, yet.

However, there are some one-off "hacks" in the settings, which just 
happen to take care of the two you mentioned explicitly:

Auto Expire Default
When enabled, any newly recorded programs will be marked as eligible for 
Auto-Expiration. Existing recordings will keep their current value.

(in frontend settings, General, General (Autoexpire))

Default Auto Transcode setting
This is the default value used for the Auto-Transcode setting when a new 
scheduled recording is created.

(in frontend settings, General, General (Jobs)--the page after the above 
setting)
