Yes, not only is it an option when you create the new session (albeit
somewhat hidden on the second tab), but it is also an option after
that on the Misc page of the options window.  However, you have to
remember to check this every time you create a new session if you
don't like the defaults.

I also noticed that even when you turn off all autoconnection in the
new session dialog, the master outputs still connect to the hardware
initially.

The ability to change the default settings would be something a bit
new for the ardour UI in general, because right now some options you
change are saved across all sessions, and some aren't... the GUI
doesn't make clear what.
