Not according to it's documentation: "Enable entire process swapout".
And based on a quick check of the code I can't see anything in the
code path that restricts vm.swap_enabled to kstacks only.

That said, the option "NO_SWAPPING" does state that it controls
swapping of stack pages only but appears to implement a superset of
vm.swap_enabled.

ISTR that by the time the pager's done it's worst, there's not much
left of a process but I thought it was more than the kstack.  At
the very least, the documentation for vm.swap_enabled is inconsistent
with NO_SWAPPING.

And maybe vm.disable_swapspace_pageouts
