hmmm ... if you mean something like what is below, then yes.

function varargout = foobar ( )
  for n = 1:numel(nargout)
    varargout{n} = n;
  end
end

In this instance "varargout" has a special meaning.

If you mean, something like what is below, then that doesn't work with 3.2.x, 
but does with Matlab.

        v{:} = {rand(1,2), rand(1,3)}
        error: invalid dimension inquiry of a non-existent value

or

        v{:} = rand(1,2)
        error: invalid dimension inquiry of a non-existent value 

Jarsolav, is this something that should be added to Octave?
