It's only possible for 0-ply. 

For 2-ply the equity is an average of 441 positions. gnubg may use
different values of the cube efficiency for these, although it may be
possible to calculate an "effective" one based on the calculated cubeful
and cubeless equities, by solving

E(cubeful)=E(dead) * (1-x) + E(live) * x

E(live) is calulated from the live cube take points.

A similar argument can be used for the take point. gnubg doesn't think a
cube is pass because your wins are below the take point, rather it
thinks that it's a pass because the equity for "double, take" is larger
than "double, pass". Still, it would be possible to calculate an
"effective" take point.
