Not that I could find in the documentation.  It makes sense to not be
possible; quoting from (info "(elisp) Startup Summary"):

  11. It loads the library ‘site-start’[...]

  12. It loads your init file[...].

Thus, even if it were such a Lisp expression it would be too late for 
its evaluation to have any effect.[1]


Footnotes: 

[1] In the future however (and in principle), we might have a mechanism
    to make all Lisp computing reversible and then that would be
    possible.[2]

[2] Granting your site-start doesn’t affect the external world in a
    irreversible way, of course.
