Hello,
When you run Martini simulations with NAMD, you should enable
"MartiniSwitching on" in your configuration file.
This, essentially, does what you ask: it enables the use of different
switchdist options for Lennard-Jones and Coulomb electrostatics. The
switchdist that can be set in the configuration file is actually to
describe the option for LJ interactions, while the coulombic switchdist
is automatically set to 0 (this is hardcoded in the NAMD source and
enabled with MartiniSwitching).
In other words, in your MARTINI configuration file you should include
the following:
# Force-Field Parameters
exclude 1-2
1-4scaling 1.0
cutoff 12.0
martiniSwitching on
PME off
switching on
switchdist 9.0
pairlistdist 14
dielectric 15.0
All of this is explained in more detail in the Residue-Based
Coarse-Graining tutorial files (although, technically, they SHOULD be
part of the User's Guide, so that people know how the force field is
ACTUALLY implemented in NAMD):

Good luck,
Fotis
