No, but you can go over there and generate it.
take sections for example. (assuming <section> is th esection elementand
<xref> the reference)
given
<xsl:template match="section" mode="number">
<xsl:number ... whatever settings you want />
</xsl:template>
Then you section heading can use
<xsl:template match="section">
... fonts and spacing <xsl:apply-templates mode="number" select="."/> ....
<xsl:apply-templates mode="number" select="title"/>
</xsl:template>
and you xref can use
<xsl:template match="xref">
see <xsl:apply-templates mode="number" select="id(@id)"/>
</xsl:template>
Have a look at Norm's docbook sheets that go in for this style in a big
way....
