Jekyll has gone through some major updates in the past few months, so maybe this wasn't possible when this question was originally posted...

Jekyll supports a permalink attribute in the YAML front-matter section of your blog posts. You can specify the URL that you would like your post to have and Jekyll will use that (instead of the filename) when generating your site.
