I think so, yes. The boxset stuff happens after the compilation stuff.
The closest I can get to mp3tag is puddletag. If you edit the extended tags and add a new one called
MusicBrainz Album Type
with a value of boxset
then that should do what you want and mark it as both a compilation and a boxset.See screenshot below of my tags (in puddletag) of a 2 disc compilation album that gets added as a boxset because of that tag.
