Unless I've misunderstood what apmd does [based on a quick reading of the
apmd(8) man page], I don't see how: the bios is configured to generate a
system suspend event when the lid is closed: apmd responds to suspend [and
other apm] events: you could, I suppose, choose to ignore all system 
suspends, but then fn-F4 wouldn't suspend the machine, amongst other 
things. I don't think apmd receives any extra info to indicate what caused
the suspend event, and I don't think it writes alterations to the
bios. [If you happen to know different, then I bow to your superior
knowledge, of course... ]

This is all assuming that the machine is in fact suspending on lid close:
if it's just screen blanking kicking in on lid close, there may be some
other BIOS setting, or it could be a bug [in something, I'm not sure
what].
