Well... There are the Client Rulers in EB so theoreticly it is possible to make something similar in homeland regions, but I guess nothing is planned.
I don't know exactly how client rulers work, however... I suppose it works the other way round: you build a unit marked as "general_unit", and the game attaches a family member to it; maybe it's done through the script, maybe the game engine does it on its own (but I don't think so).
What I'd like to know is the opposite: a family member "comes of age", and a general unit chosen between a few is attached to it, instead of just the default one. Maybe at random, or maybe according to some parameters. But as bobbin pointed out, I don't think that's possible... maybe it can be done via scripting, "detecting" all family members that come of age and then changing their bodyguard. However, I don't know scripting and I asked mainly out of curiosity... I don't have exact plans for this idea :P

The client ruler takes advantage of the recruitable general fuction that was introduced with BI and RTW 1.5 (its part of the engine), they aren't part of you family tree so they aren't proper family members.
You can't change a FM's bodyguard using the script unless you make the script kill the FM and then spawn a new one with the same name but with a different bodyguard, the problem is you'll have the most messed up family tree ever. It's quite annoying you can't have multiple different bodyguards but I guess we have to live with it :/.
You could edit the edu to change a factions general unit just before an FM comes of age and change it back again afterward. In my last Casse campaign I started with Calawre generals, then changed to Rycalawre after the reform with no ill effect.
