Sort of, yes. It's kind of hacky, and I'm not entirely sure how well it 
will work, but there is an "After Attaching" preference in the Target 
Settings dialog (click the "More Options" widget-thingy). This will run 
any gdb command after attaching to the target. You could add something 
to use gdb's "shell" command to spawn your gdbserver.

But like I said, I'm not sure how well that will work (or if it will 
work). My guess it has bitrotted...
